Description
Product Characteristics: TSC22D3 Antibody: The TSC22 domain family member 3 protein (TSC22D3) is a leucine zipper protein that functions as a transcriptional regulator. The expression of TSC22D3 is stimulated by glucocorticoids and IL-10 and is thought to play a key role in the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of these molecules. TSC22D3 can physically interact with and inhibit the activities of key inflammatory signaling mediators such NF-κ,B and AP-1. TSC22D3 functions as a transcriptional co-activator for various nuclear receptors and NF-κ,B. It has also been shown to be involved in the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards osteoblasts and bone formation.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene shares significant sequence identity with the murine TSC-22 and Drosophila shs, both of which are leucine zipper proteins, that function as transcriptional regulators. The expression of this gene is stimulated by glucocorticoids and interleukin 10, and it appears to play a key role in the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of this steroid and chemokine. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
