Rabbit Anti-WBSCR14/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
ChREBP (Carbohydrate responsive element binding protein) is a transcription factor playing a critical role in the nutrient and hormonal regulation of genes encoding enzymes of glucose metabolism and lipogenesis pathways. It contains several domains including a nuclear localization signal (NLS) near the N-terminus, polyproline domains, a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (b/HLH/Zip) and a leucine zipper like (zip-like) domain.
ChREBP is ubiquitously detected in various tissues, with highest expression in liver, kidney and white and brown adipose tissue. Under basal conditions ChREBP is localized in the cytosol, translocating into the nucleus upon high glucose stimulation following its dephosphorylation of phospho-serine 196.
Function:
Transcriptional repressor. Binds to the canonical and non-canonical E box sequences 5'-CACGTG-3' (By similarity).
Subunit:
Binds DNA as a heterodimer with TCFL4/MLX.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in liver, heart, kidney, cerebellum and intestinal tissues.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation at Ser-556 by AMPK inactivates the DNA-binding activity (By similarity).
DISEASE:
Note=WBSCR14 is located in the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) critical region. WBS results from a hemizygous deletion of several genes on chromosome 7q11.23, thought to arise as a consequence of unequal crossing over between highly homologous low-copy repeat sequences flanking the deleted region. Haploinsufficiency of WBSCR14 may be the cause of certain cardiovascular and musculo-skeletal abnormalities observed in the disease.
Similarity:
Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.
