YWHAZ accession number NP_ 663723 belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which are in charge for checkpoint control, apoptotic & nutrient sensing pathways as well as signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. The 14-3-3 protein family is found in both plants and mammals, and KCIP-1 protein is 99% identical to the mouse, rat and sheep orthologs. KCIP-1 interacts with IRS1 protein, signifying a role in regulating insulin. 14-3-3 proteins are highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed. There are at least 7 isoforms, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? and ? that have been identified in mammals. YWHAZ function as an adapter protein involved in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathway. YWHAZ binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner.
YWHAZ fused to His Tag on N-terminus Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 245amino acids (1-245) and having a molecular mass of 32 kDa.
YWHAZ is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
