PQBP1 Polyclonal Antibody, AbBy Fluor™ 488 Conjugated

Polyglutamine (Q) tract binding protein-1 (PQBP-1) is a transcription repressor that associates with polyglutamine tract-containing transcription regulators and causative genes for neurodegenerative disorders. Hepta- and di-amino acid repeat sequences rich in polar residues are essential for PQBP-1 to interact with polyglutamine tract-containing proteins (i.e. huntingtin, androgen receptor and Brain-2) . PQBP-1 contains a WWP/WW domain that binds proline-rich motifs and a C2 domain that can influence Ca2+-dependent phospholipid signaling. PQBP-1 localizes to the nucleus and is present in neurons throughout the brain, with abundant levels in hippocampus, cerebellar cortex and olfactory bulb. The human PQBP-1 gene maps to chromosome Xp11.23.
