ANTI-ZFR (C15-1744-625)

General description

Zinc finger RNA binding protein (ZFR) is a highly conserved protein and is homologous to mouse ZFR. It is essential in the early developmental stages. ZFR has three N-terminal C2H2 zinc finger motifs and a C-terminal DZF (domain associated with zinc fingers) domain. ZFR is highly expressed in brain, whereas skeletal muscles is devoid of ZFR expression. In human chromosome, the gene ZFR is localized on 5p13.3.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human ZFR

Application

Anti-ZFR antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zinc finger RNA binding protein (ZFR) binds to RNA and DNA and promotes DNA repair and chromosome organisation. ZFR regulates alternative pre-mRNA splicing and suppress interferon 1 expression in tissues. ZFR is a key factor in regulating transcription in macrophages. ZFR is critical for Staufen 2 isoform specific nucleocytoplasmic shuttling in neurons. ZFR is a potent marker and therapeutic target in cancer. ZFR is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and knockdown of which suppressed the tumor cell growth and proliferation. ZFR is overexpressed in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and causes cell growth and metastasis.
