MRTF-A rabbit pAb

MRTF-A rabbit pAb

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the transcription factor myocardin, a key regulator of smooth muscle cell differentiation. The encoded protein is predominantly nuclear and may help transduce signals from the cytoskeleton to the nucleus. This gene is involved in a specific translocation event that creates a fusion of this gene and the RNA-binding motif protein-15 gene. This translocation has been associated with acute megakaryocytic leukemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013],

• Gene ID: 57591
• UniProt: Q969V6
• Cellular Locus: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Subcellular location is tightly regulated by actin both in cytoplasm and nucleus: high levels of G-actin in the nucleus observed during serum deprivation lead to low levels of nuclear MRTFA, while reduced levels of nuclear G-actin result in accumulation of MRTFA in the nucleus (By similarity). G-actin-binding in the cytoplasm inhibits nuclear import by masking the nuclear localization signal (NLS) (By similarity). In contrast, binding to nuclear globular actin (G-actin) promotes nuclear export to the cytoplasm (By similarity). Nuclear localization is regulated by MICAL2, which mediates depolymerization of nuclear actin, which decreases nuclear G-actin pool, thereby promoting retention of MRTFA in the nucleus and subsequent formation of an active complex with SRF (PubM
