Anti-TOX Antibody Picoband® Fluoro594 Conjugated

Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box protein TOX is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TOX gene. The protein encoded by this gene contains a HMG box DNA binding domain. HMG boxes are found in many eukaryotic proteins involved in chromatin assembly, transcription and replication. This protein may function to regulate T-cell development.

Protein kinase which phosphorylates ESR1 (in vitro) and protects it against proteasomal degradation. May also regulate ESR1 levels inly via a PKC-AKT-FOXO3 pathway where it decreases the activity of PKC and the phosphorylation of AKT, thereby increasing binding of transcriptional activator FOXO3 to the ESR1 promoter and increasing ESR1 transcription (PubMed:21602804) . Involved in endocytic trafficking of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) in neurons.
