Rabbit Anti-Deltex/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Studies in Drosophila have identified this gene as encoding a positive regulator of the Notch-signaling pathway. The human gene encodes a protein of unknown function; however, it may play a role in basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
Deltex is a RING finger ubiquitin ligase which is conserved from Drosophila to Humans and is a regulator of Notch signaling pathway. Deltex regulates both B-cell lineage and splenic marginal-zone B-cell commitment. Deltex is implicated in neurogenesis, lymphogenesis and myogenesis as well as marginal zone B cell differentiation.
Subunit:
Homodimer. May form a heterodimer with other members of the Deltex family. Interacts with NOTCH1 via its N-terminus region and EIF3F, the interaction is required for NOTCH1 deubiquitination. Interacts with EP300. Forms a heterodimer with BBAP; the heterodimerization leading to an increase of in vitro ubiquitin ligase activity. Interacts with ITCH.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm and Nucleus. Note: Predominantly cytoplasmic, partially nuclear.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed. Strongly expressed in blood vessel. Also expressed in embryonic nervous system, pancreas, lung, adrenal gland, digestive tube and muscles. Expressed in MZB cells and developing B- and T-cells.
Post-translational modifications:
Ubiquitinated; undergoes 'Lys-29'-linked polyubiquitination catalyzed by ITCH.
Similarity:
Belongs to the Deltex family.
Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.
Contains 2 WWE domains.
