Recombinant Human Zic3 protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

ZIC3, or zic family member 3, is a molecule that regulates early embryonic patterning in vertebrates. ZIC3 has putative roles in a number of developmental signalling pathways that have distinct roles in establishing the left-right axis. In addition, ZIC3 is also considered as target of MiR-564, a tumor suppressor in human lung cancer. Variants in the ZIC3 gene are rare, but have demonstrated their profound clinical significance in X-linked heterotaxy, affecting in particular male patients with abnormal arrangement of thoracic and visceral organs.
