Rabbit anti-Human AES Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q08117

Target Species

Human

Target Name

AES

Target Full Name

TLE family member 5

Target Function

Transcriptional corepressor. Acts as dominant repressor towards other family members. Inhibits NF-kappa-B-regulated gene expression. May be required for the initiation and maintenance of the differentiated state. Essential for the transcriptional repressor activity of SIX3 during retina and lens development.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

WD repeat Groucho/TLE family

Target Tissue Specificity

Found predominantly in muscle, heart and Placenta. In fetal tissues, abundantly expressed in the heart, lung, kidney, brain and liver.

Target Research Area

Stem Cells

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is similar in sequence to the amino terminus of Drosophila enhancer of split groucho, a protein involved in neurogenesis during embryonic development. The encoded protein, which belongs to the groucho/TLE family of proteins, can function as a homooligomer or as a heteroologimer with other family members to dominantly repress the expression of other family member genes. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
