Invitrogen™ TSHZ3 Polyclonal Antibody

Beskrivning

A suggested positive control is mouse brain tissue lysate. PA5-34344 can be used with blocking peptide PEP-1387.

The Teashirt zinc finger homeobox (TSHZ) family comprise a family of evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that, in Drosophila, are active in specific body parts for patterning, but whose function in vertebrates is less clear. In mice, the known three TSHZ proteins are expressed in distinct patterns in the developing and adult brain, suggesting that they play a role in the establishment of regional identity and specification of cell types within the brain. Both TSHZ3 and TSHZ1 have been found to interact with FE65, an adapter protein that binds to the amyloid protein precursor (APP) in neurons. Together with SET, a component of the inhibitor of acetyl transferase, and histone deacetylases, these proteins formed a gene-silencing complex whose target includes caspase-4. Recent experiments have also suggested this family of proteins may be involved in carcinogenesis.
