Description
Product Characteristics:
TACC2 is a conserved family of centrosome and microtubule interacting proteins that are implicated in cancer. This gene encodes a protein that concentrates at centrosomes throughout the cell cycle. This gene lies within a chromosomal region associated with tumorigenesis. Expression of this gene is thought to affect the progression of breast tumors. Expression of this gene is also induced by erythropoietin.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus
Synonyms: TACC2_HUMAN, Anti zuai 1, AZU 1, AZU1, ECTACC, TACC 2, Transforming acidic coiled coil containing protein 2.
Target Information: Transforming acidic coiled-coil proteins are a conserved family of centrosome- and microtubule-interacting proteins that are implicated in cancer. This gene encodes a protein that concentrates at centrosomes throughout the cell cycle. This gene lies within a chromosomal region associated with tumorigenesis. Expression of this gene is induced by erythropoietin and is thought to affect the progression of breast tumors. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
