Rabbit anti-Human ZIC1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q15915

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ZIC1

Target Full Name

Zinc finger protein ZIC 1

Target Function

Acts as a transcriptional activator. Involved in neurogenesis. Plays important roles in the early stage of organogenesis of the CNS, as well as during dorsal spinal cord development and maturation of the cerebellum. Involved in the spatial distribution of mossy fiber (MF) neurons within the pontine gray nucleus (PGN). Plays a role in the regulation of MF axon pathway choice. Promotes MF migration towards ipsilaterally-located cerebellar territories. May have a role in shear flow mechanotransduction in osteocytes. Retains nuclear GLI1 and GLI3 in the cytoplasm. Binds to the minimal GLI-consensus sequence 5'-TGGGTGGTC-3'.

Target Involvement

Craniosynostosis 6 (CRS6)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

GLI C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family

Target Tissue Specificity

CNS. A high level expression is seen in the cerebellum. Detected in the nuclei of the cerebellar granule cell lineage from the progenitor cells of the external germinal layer to the postmigrated cells of the internal granular layer. Detected in medullobla

Target Synonyms

Odd paired homolog Drosophila; Zic 1; ZIC; Zic family member 1 (odd-paired Drosophila homolog); Zic family member 1; Zic protein member 1; zic1; ZIC1_HUMAN; Zinc finger protein 201; Zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 1; Zinc finger protein ZIC 1; Zinc finger protein ZIC1; ZNF 201; ZNF201

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. Members of this family are important during development. Aberrant expression of this gene is seen in medulloblastoma, a childhood brain tumor. This gene is closely linked to the gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 4, a related family member on chromosome 3. This gene encodes a transcription factor that can bind and transactivate the apolipoprotein E gene.
