Rabbit anti-Human LYRIC/AEG1 Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q86UE4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MTDH

Target Full Name

Protein LYRIC

Target Function

Downregulates SLC1A2/EAAT2 promoter activity when expressed ectopically. Activates the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappa-B) transcription factor. Promotes anchorage-independent growth of immortalized melanocytes and astrocytes which is a key component in tumor cell expansion. Promotes lung metastasis and also has an effect on bone and brain metastasis, possibly by enhancing the seeding of tumor cells to the target organ endothelium. Induces chemoresistance.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Nucleus membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, tight junction. Nucleus, nucleolus. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region.

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed with highest levels in muscle-dominating organs such as skeletal muscle, heart, tongue and small intestine and in endocrine glands such as thyroid and adrenal gland. Overexpressed in various cancers including breast, brain, prostate, mela

Target Background

Enables NF-kappaB binding activity; double-stranded RNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; nuclear lumen; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma.
