SRF Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a ubiquitous nuclear protein that stimulates both cell proliferation and differentiation. It is a member of the MADS (MCM1, Agamous, Deficiens, and SRF) box superfamily of transcription factors. This protein binds to the serum response element (SRE) in the promoter region of target genes. This protein regulates the activity of many immediate-early genes, for example c-fos, and thereby participates in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, cell growth, and cell differentiation. This gene is the downstream target of many pathways; for example, the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAPK) that acts through the ternary complex factors (TCFs) . Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014], function:SRF is a transcription factor that binds to the serum response element (SRE), a short sequence of dyad symmetry located 300 bp to the 5' of the site of transcription initiation of some genes (such as FOS) . Required for cardiac differentation and maturation., PTM:Phosphorylated by PRKDC., similarity:Contains 1 MADS-box domain., subunit:Binds DNA as a multimer, probably a dimer. Interacts with MLLT7/FOXO4, NKX3A and SSRP1. Interacts with ARID2 and SRFBP1 (By similarity) . Forms complexes with ARID2, MYOCD, NKX2-5 and SRFBP1.
