Rabbit Anti-COUP-TF1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
COUP transcription factors have been cloned in several species and identified as orphan members of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. COUP-TFI (also designated COUP or EAR-3) and ARP-1 (also designated COUP-TFII) exhibit highly regulated and overlapping expression in most tissues. COUP-TFs are highly expressed in the developing and central nervous system, suggesting that these factors may be important in neural development and differentiation. COUP-TFs can compete for binding to response elements which are common to other members of this family, including RAR, RXR, PPAR, HNF-4, VDR and TR. They have been shown to act as negative regulators as well as initiators of transcription.
Function:
Coup (chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter) transcription factor binds to the ovalbumin promoter and, in conjunction with another protein (S300-II) stimulates initiation of transcription. Binds to both direct repeats and palindromes of the 5'-AGGTCA-3' motif. Represses transcriptional activity of LHCG.
Subunit:
Binds DNA as dimer; homodimer and probable heterodimer with NR2F6. Interacts with COPS2.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Similarity:
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.
Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
