Recombinant Human Myelin transcription factor 1 (MYT1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q01538

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MYT1

Target Full Name

Myelin transcription factor 1

Target Function

Binds to the promoter region of genes encoding proteolipid proteins of the central nervous system. May play a role in the development of neurons and oligodendroglia in the CNS. May regulate a critical transition point in oligodendrocyte lineage development by modulating oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation relative to terminal differentiation and up-regulation of myelin gene transcription.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

MYT1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Mostly in developing nervous system. Expressed in neural progenitors and oligodendrocyte lineage cells. More highly expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitors than in differentiated oligodendrocytes.

Target Research Area

Developmental Biology

Target Synonyms

C20orf36; KIAA0835; KIAA1050; MTF1; Myelin transcription factor 1; Myelin transcription factor I; MYT1; MYT1_HUMAN; MyTI; PLPB1; Proteolipid protein-binding protein

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of neural specific, zinc finger-containing DNA-binding proteins. The protein binds to the promoter regions of proteolipid proteins of the central nervous system and plays a role in the developing nervous system.
