Anti-LARP1 Antibody Picoband®

La-related protein 1 (LARP1) is a 150 kDa protein that in humans is encoded by the LARP1 gene. La-related protein 1 (LARP1) is a ubiquitously expressed RNA binding protein that promotes both global and specific mRNA translation in cells. LARP1 belongs to the La-related protein family and contains two RNA binding domains, a La motif (LAM), and a neighboring RNA recognition motif-like (RRM-L) domain. Research studies indicate that LARP1 acts downstream of mTORC1 to facilitate cell proliferation and growth by promoting global mRNA translation and translation of mRNAs containing a 5'Terminal Oligo-Pyrimidine (5'TOP) motif, which code for translational machinery components. At the molecular level, LARP1 associates with 5'TOP mRNAs and multiple translation machinery components to positively regulate translation. Additional studies show that LARP1 expression is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and that high LARP1 expression in HCC negatively correlates with survival rate.

Interferon regulatory factor 9; IRF-9; IFN-alpha-responsive transcription factor subunit; ISGF3 p48 subunit; Interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 gamma; ISGF-3 gamma; Transcriptional regulator ISGF3 subunit gamma; IRF9; ISGF3G

Transcription factor that mediates signaling by type I IFNs (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) . Following type I IFN binding to cell surface receptors, Jak kinases (TYK2 and JAK1) are activated, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. IRF9/ISGF3G associates with the phosphorylated STAT1:STAT2 dimer to form a complex termed ISGF3 transcription factor, that enters the nucleus. ISGF3 binds to the IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) to activate the transcription of interferon stimulated genes, which drive the cell in an antiviral state.
