Recombinant Human RUNX3 protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

RUNX3, also called CBFA3, AML-2 or PEBP2-alpha C, is a member of the Runt domain family of nuclear transcriptional regulators. All of the RUNX proteins form dimers with CBF-beta. The runt domain (aa 54-186) is required for DNA binding, while a pro/ser/thr-rich region (aa 191-415) transcriptionally activates target genes. Isoform 2 has an alternate 19 aa in place of the N-terminal 5 aa of isoform 1. The 415 aa Human RUNX3 shares 91% aa identity with mouse or rat RUNX3. RUNX3 is necessary for growth control of gastric epithelium, neurogenesis of dorsal root ganglia, and T cell differentiation. RUNX3 expression is frequently mutated in tumors and appears to be silenced by methylation.
