Rabbit Anti-GCNF/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Germ cell nuclear factor (GCNF) is an orphan member of the nuclear receptor gene superfamily that influences neurogenesis and germ cell development. GCNF can homodimerize and bind DNA. GCNF regulates paracrine interaction between the oocyte and somatic cells by regulating the expression of BMP-15 and GDF-9, to affect female fertility. GCNF is present in spermatocytes and round spermatids of adult male mouse testis; northern blot and ribonuclease protection assays have shown GCNF is predominant in the testis. The gene expresses three alternatively spliced transcript variants.
Function:
Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds to a response element containing the sequence 5'-TCAAGGTCA-3'. May be involved in the regulation of gene expression in germ cell development during gametogenesis.
Subunit:
Homodimer. Interacts with UIMC1
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Shows highest expression in the germ cells of the adult testis.
Similarity:
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR6 subfamily.
Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
