Description
Product Characteristics: LZTS2 Antibody: The leucine zipper putative tumor suppressor 2 (LZTS2, also known as LAPSER1), a member of the LZTS family, is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. It represses beta-catenin-mediated transcriptional activation by promoting the nuclear exclusion of beta-catenin. LZTS2 is involved in cytokinesis and regulates katanin-mediated microtubule severing and release from the centrosome. LZTS2 may negatively regulate axonal outgrowth by preventing the formation of microtubule bundles that are necessary for transport within the elongating axon. LZTS2 is highly expressed in testis and prostate, but it is deleted in multiple cancers, including prostate tumors, suggesting that LZTS2 acts as a potential tumor suppressor.
Target Information: Negative regulator of katanin-mediated microtubule severing and release from the centrosome. Required for central spindle formation and the completion of cytokinesis. May negatively regulate axonal outgrowth by preventing the formation of microtubule bundles that are necessary for transport within the elongating axon. Negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Represses beta-catenin-mediated transcriptional activation by promoting the nuclear exclusion of beta-catenin (By similarity)
