Rabbit anti-Human TNKS Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O95271

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TNKS

Target Full Name

Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase tankyrase-1

Target Function

Poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase involved in various processes such as Wnt signaling pathway, telomere length and vesicle trafficking. Acts as an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARsylation) of AXIN1 and AXIN2, 2 key components of the beta-catenin destruction complex: poly-ADP-ribosylated target proteins are recognized by RNF146, which mediates their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Also mediates PARsylation of BLZF1 and CASC3, followed by recruitment of RNF146 and subsequent ubiquitination. Mediates PARsylation of TERF1, thereby contributing to the regulation of telomere length. Involved in centrosome maturation during prometaphase by mediating PARsylation of HEPACAM2/MIKI. May also regulate vesicle trafficking and modulate the subcellular distribution of SLC2A4/GLUT4-vesicles. May be involved in spindle pole assembly through PARsylation of NUMA1. Stimulates 26S proteasome activity.

Target Background

Enables histone binding activity; pentosyltransferase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of maintenance of mitotic sister chromatid cohesion, telomeric; protein ADP-ribosylation; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation; and protein ADP-ribosylation. Located in several cellular components, including chromosome, telomeric region; mitotic spindle pole; and nucleus.
