Rabbit anti-Human RERE Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9P2R6

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RERE

Target Full Name

Arginine-glutamic acid dipeptide repeats protein

Target Function

Plays a role as a transcriptional repressor during development. May play a role in the control of cell survival. Overexpression of RERE recruits BAX to the nucleus particularly to POD and triggers caspase-3 activation, leading to cell death.

Target Involvement

Neurodevelopmental disorder with or without anomalies of the brain, eye, or heart (NEDBEH)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Note=Localized in nuclear bodies of variables size. Colocalized with PML and BAX in nuclear PODs.

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed in tumor cell lines.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the atrophin family of arginine-glutamic acid (RE) dipeptide repeat-containing proteins. The encoded protein co-localizes with a transcription factor in the nucleus, and its overexpression triggers apoptosis. A similar protein in mouse associates with histone deacetylase and is thought to function as a transcriptional co-repressor during embryonic development. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
