Rabbit anti-Human ZFYVE16 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q7Z3T8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ZFYVE16

Target Full Name

Zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 16

Target Function

May be involved in regulating membrane trafficking in the endosomal pathway. Overexpression induces endosome aggregation. Required to target TOM1 to endosomes.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Early endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Localized to early endosomes. Membrane-associated, probably via its association with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P).

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Highly expressed in kidney, placenta and lung. Expressed at intermediate level in heart, brain, skeletal muscle, spleen and liver. Weakly expressed in colon, thymus and peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Target Background

This gene encodes an endosomal protein that belongs to the FYVE zinc finger family of proteins. The encoded protein is thought to regulate membrane trafficking in the endosome. This protein functions as a scaffold protein in the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway and is involved in positive and negative feedback regulation of the bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
