Rabbit anti-Human DCAF7 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P61962

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DCAF7

Target Full Name

DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 7

Target Function

Involved in craniofacial development. Acts upstream of the EDN1 pathway and is required for formation of the upper jaw equivalent, the palatoquadrate. The activity required for EDN1 pathway function differs between the first and second arches. Associates with DIAPH1 and controls GLI1 transcriptional activity. Could be involved in normal and disease skin development. May function as a substrate receptor for CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Overexpression of DIAHP1 or active RHOA causes translocation from the nucleus to cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

WD repeat DCAF7 family

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Synonyms

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein with multiple WD40 repeats which facilitate protein-protein interactions and thereby enable the assembly of multiprotein complexes. This protein has been shown to function as a scaffold protein for protein complexes involved in kinase signaling. This highly conserved gene is present in eukaryotic plants, fungi, and animals. The ortholog of this gene was first identified in plants as a key regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis and flower pigmentation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
