Rabbit Anti-Ubiquitously expressed transcript/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
UXT is a novel protein, highly conserved in mouse. It interacts with the N terminus of the androgen receptor and plays a role in facilitating receptor-induced transcriptional activation. It is abundantly expressed in tumor tissues and is likely to be involved in tumorigenesis.
Function:
Involved in gene transcription regulation. Acts in concert with the corepressor URI1 to regulate androgen receptor transcription (AR). AR N-terminus-associated coactivator which may play a role in facilitating receptor-induced transcriptional activation (PubMed:11854421). Potential component of mitochondrial-associated LRPPRC, a multidomain organizer that potentially integrates mitochondria and the microtubular cytoskeleton with chromosome remodeling (PubMed:11827465). Increasing concentrations of UXT contributes to progressive aggregation of mitochondria and cell death potentially through its association with LRPPRC (PubMed:17554592). May be a nuclear chaperone that promotes formation of the NF-kappa-B enhanceosome and which is essential for its nuclear function (PubMed:17620405). Suppresses cell transformation and it might mediate this function by interaction and inhibition of the biological activity of cell proliferation and survival stimulatory factors like MECOM (PubMed:17635584). Together with URI1, associates with chromatin to the NKX3-1 promoter region.
Subunit:
Homohexamer. Interacts with LRPPRC. Interacts with AR N-terminus. In the nucleus interacts specifically with RELA and forms a dynamic complex with NF-kappa-B and is recruited to the NF-kappa-B enhanceosome upon stimulation. Interacts with MECOM and URI1.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous. Expressed in prostate epithelial cells. Overexpressed in a number of tumor tissues (PubMed:16221885). Highest levels in the heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas, kidney, liver, adrenal gland, peripheral blood leukocytes, lymph node, prostate, and thyroid and the lowest levels in bladder and uterus.
Similarity:
Belongs to the UXT family.
