Recombinant Human Transcription factor Jun (JUN)

Uniprot Id

P05412

Target Species

Human

Target Name

JUN

Target Full Name

Transcription factor Jun

Target Function

Transcription factor that recognizes and binds to the enhancer heptamer motif 5'-TGA[CG]TCA-3'. Promotes activity of NR5A1 when phosphorylated by HIPK3 leading to increased steroidogenic gene expression upon cAMP signaling pathway stimulation. Involved in activated KRAS-mediated transcriptional activation of USP28 in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Binds to the USP28 promoter in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

BZIP family, Jun subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the developing and adult prostate and prostate cancer cells.

Target Research Area

Cardiovascular

Target Background

This gene is the putative transforming gene of avian sarcoma virus 17. It encodes a protein which is highly similar to the viral protein, and which interacts directly with specific target DNA sequences to regulate gene expression. This gene is intronless and is mapped to 1p32-p31, a chromosomal region involved in both translocations and deletions in human malignancies.
