Anti-Pin1 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 5E5) (Biotine Conjugate)

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1, also called DOD, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIN1 gene. It is mapped to 19p13.2. The enzyme binds to a subset of proteins and thus plays a role as a post phospho PIN1rol in regulating protein function. Studies have shown that the deregulation of PIN1 may play a pivotal role in various diseases. Notably, the up-regulation of PIN1 may be implicated in certain cancers, and the down-regulation of Pin1 may be implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Inhibitors of PIN1 may have therapeutic implications for cancer and immune disorders. PIN1 activity regulates the outcome of proline-ed kinase (e.g. MAPK, CDK or GSK3) signalling and consequently regulates cell proliferation (in part through control of cyclin D1 levels and stability) and cell survival. PIN1 also has an essential role in maintaining cell proliferation and regulating cyclin D1 function.

Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. Also shortens the biological half-lives of certain neuroactive drugs, like L-DOPA, alpha-methyl DOPA and isoproterenol.
