Description
Product Characteristics:
THAP1 contains a THAP domain, a zinc-dependent DNA-binding domain. It colocalizes with the apoptosis response protein PAWR/PAR-4 in promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies and is a pro-apoptopic protein that potentiates both serum-withdrawal and TNF-induced apoptosis. It is a physiologic regulator of endothelial cell proliferation and cell-cycle progression, two essential processes for angiogenesis.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: Nuclear proapoptotic factor, THAP 1, THAP domain containing apoptosis associated protein 1, THAP domain containing protein 1, THAP domain protein 1, THAP1_HUMAN.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene contains a THAP domain, a conserved DNA-binding domain. This protein colocalizes with the apoptosis response protein PAWR/PAR-4 in promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies, and functions as a proapoptotic factor that links PAWR to PML nuclear bodies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
