Anti-JAZF1, clone PCRP-JAZF1-1C2

0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. JAZF1 (juxtaposed with another zinc finger protein 1), also known as TIP27 (TAK1-interacting protein 27) or ZNF802 (zinc finger protein 802), is a 243 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and contains three C2H2-type zinc fingers. Existing as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms, JAZF1 interacts with the nuclear orphan receptor TR4 and is thought to function as a transcriptional repressor, effectively down-regulation the expression of TR4. Chromosomal aberrations in the gene encoding JAZF1 are associated with the pathogenesis of endometrial stromal tumors, suggesting a role for JAZF1 in carcinogenesis. Protein function: Acts as a transcriptional corepressor of orphan nuclear receptor NR2C2 (PubMed:15302918). Inhibits expression of the gluconeogenesis enzyme PCK2 through inhibition of NR2C2 activity. Also involved in transcriptional activation of NAMPT by promoting expression of PPARA and PPARD. Plays a role in lipid metabolism by suppressing lipogenesis, increasing lipolysis and decreasing lipid accumulation in adipose tissue. Plays a role in glucose homeostasis by improving glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. [The UniProt Consortium]
