Recombinant Human Arf-GAP domain and FG repeat-containing protein 1 (AGFG1)

Uniprot Id

P52594

Target Species

Human

Target Name

AGFG1

Target Full Name

Arf-GAP domain and FG repeat-containing protein 1

Target Function

Required for vesicle docking or fusion during acrosome biogenesis. May play a role in RNA trafficking or localization. In case of infection by HIV-1, acts as a cofactor for viral Rev and promotes movement of Rev-responsive element-containing RNAs from the nuclear periphery to the cytoplasm. This step is essential for HIV-1 replication.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasmic vesicle.

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is related to nucleoporins, a class of proteins that mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport. The encoded protein binds the activation domain of the human immunodeficiency virus Rev protein when Rev is assembled onto its RNA target, and is required for the nuclear export of Rev-directed RNAs. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
