Anti-14-3-3 zeta/delta/YWHAZ Antibody Picoband®

14-3-3 protein zeta/delta (14-3-3ζ) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the YWHAZ gene on chromosome 8. This gene product belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. This highly conserved protein family is found in both plants and mammals, and this protein is 99% identical to the mouse, rat and sheep orthologs. The encoded protein interacts with IRS1 protein, suggesting a role in regulating insulin sensitivity. Several transcript variants that differ in the 5' UTR but that encode the same protein have been identified for this gene.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human 14-3-3 zeta/delta, which shares 97.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat 14-3-3 zeta/delta.

Widely expressed. Expressed at the highest levels in pancreas, heart, brain, skeletal muscle and placenta. Expressed at lower levels in lung, liver and kidney.

Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner.
