Rabbit anti-Human PINX1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q96BK5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PINX1

Target Full Name

PIN2/TERF1-interacting telomerase inhibitor 1

Target Function

Microtubule-binding protein essential for faithful chromosome segregation. Mediates TRF1 and TERT accumulation in nucleolus and enhances TRF1 binding to telomeres. Inhibits telomerase activity. May inhibit cell proliferation and act as tumor suppressor.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus. Chromosome, telomere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Localizes in nucleoli, at telomere speckles and to the outer plate of kinetochores. Localization to the kinetochore is mediated by its central region and depends on NDC80 and CENPE.

Target Protein Families

PINX1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous; expressed at low levels. Not detectable in a number of hepatocarcinoma cell lines.

Target Background

Enables telomerase RNA binding activity and telomerase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of DNA biosynthetic process; positive regulation of protein localization to nucleolus; and protein localization to organelle. Acts upstream of or within telomere maintenance via telomerase. Located in several cellular components, including chromosomal region; nuclear lumen; and spindle.
