Description
Product Characteristics: The protein encoded by TIAL1 is a member of a family of RNA-binding proteins and possesses nucleolytic activity against cytotoxic lymphocyte target cells. The gene product is a cytotoxic granule-associated protein and has been shown to bind specifically to poly(A) homopolymers and to fragment DNA in permeabilized target cells. It has been suggested that members of this protein family may be involved in the induction of apoptosis. One isoform contains a lysosome-targeting motif in its C-terminal auxiliary domain, however, alternative splicing results in a T-cluster DNA-binding isoform, differing at the C-terminus where a hydrophobic sequence replaces the lysosome-targeting motif. Synonyms: Polyclonal TIAL1 antibody, Anti-TIAL1 antibody, TIA1 cytotoxic granule-associated RNA binding protein-like 1 antibody.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of RNA-binding proteins, has three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), and binds adenine and uridine-rich elements in mRNA and pre-mRNAs of a wide range of genes. It regulates various activities including translational control, splicing and apoptosis. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. The different isoforms have been show to function differently with respect to post-transcriptional silencing. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
