Rabbit Anti-NFAT4/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2.
Function:
Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2.
Subunit:
Member of the multicomponent NFATC transcription complex that consists of at least two components, a pre-existing cytoplasmic component NFATC2 and an inducible nuclear component NFATC1. Other members such as NFATC4, NFATC3 or members of the activating protein-1 family, MAF, GATA4 and Cbp/p300 can also bind the complex. NFATC proteins bind to DNA as monomers.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation. Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals. The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription.
Tissue Specificity:
Isoform 1 is predominantly expressed in thymus and is also found in peripheral blood leukocytes and kidney. Isoform 2 is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and is also found in thymus, kidney, testis, spleen, prostate, ovary, small intestine, heart, placenta and pancreas. Isoform 3 is expressed in thymus and kidney. Isoform 4 is expressed in thymus and skeletal muscle.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated by NFATSLCkinase; dephosphorylated by calcineurin.
Similarity:
Contains 1 RHD (Rel-like) domain.
