Rabbit anti-Human NFAT5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O94916

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NFAT5

Target Full Name

Nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5

Target Function

Transcription factor involved, among others, in the transcriptional regulation of osmoprotective and inflammatory genes. Mediates the transcriptional response to hypertonicity. Positively regulates the transcription of LCN2 and S100A4 genes; optimal transactivation of these genes requires the presence of DDX5/DDX17. Binds the DNA consensus sequence 5'-[ACT][AG]TGGAAA[CAT]A[TA][ATC][CA][ATG][GT][GAC][CG][CT]-3'.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle, brain, heart and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Target Synonyms

Target Background

The product of this gene is a member of the nuclear factors of activated T cells family of transcription factors. Proteins belonging to this family play a central role in inducible gene transcription during the immune response. This protein regulates gene expression induced by osmotic stress in mammalian cells. Unlike monomeric members of this protein family, this protein exists as a homodimer and forms stable dimers with DNA elements. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
