Rabbit Anti-NRIP/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
WD-repeat proteins are a large family of eukaryotic proteins coordinating multi-protein complex assemblies. Their role has been implicated in multiple cellular processes including signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control and apoptosis. NRIP is a novel 860a.a nuclear protein consisting of seven conserved WD40 domains and one NLS motif. It binds to androgen and glucocorticoid receptors and up-regulates their transcriptional activity, thereby functioning as a nuclear receptor co-activator. Role of NRIP has been implicated in cell growth and also in cervical and prostrate cancer, thus indicating a potential therapeutic intervention. Northern Blot analysis detects a high expression of NRIP in skeletal muscle and testis and low expression in heart, prostrate and adrenal gland.
Function:
Ligand-dependent coactivator of nuclear receptors. Enhance transcriptional activity of the nuclear receptors NR3C1 and AR. May function as a substrate receptor for CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex.
Subunit:
Interacts with the nuclear receptors NR3C1 and AR in the presence of ligand. Interacts with DDB1, CUL4A and CUL4B.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in skeletal muscle and testis. Expressed to a lesser degree in heart, prostate, and adrenal gland.
Similarity:
Contains 1 IQ domain.
Contains 7 WD repeats.
