Rabbit anti-Human DYNLRB1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NP97

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DYNLRB1

Target Full Name

Dynein light chain roadblock-type 1

Target Function

Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.

Target Protein Families

GAMAD family

Target Tissue Specificity

High expression in heart, liver, brain and pancreas; moderate in placenta, skeletal muscle and kidney; low in lung, prostate, testis, small intestine and colon. Isoform 1 expression is up-regulated in 64% hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Synonyms

Target Background

This gene is a member of the roadblock dynein light chain family. The encoded cytoplasmic protein is capable of binding intermediate chain proteins, interacts with transforming growth factor-beta, and has been implicated in the regulation of actin modulating proteins. Upregulation of this gene has been associated with hepatocellular carcinomas, suggesting that this gene may be involved in tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene have been defined on chromosomes 12 and 18.
