Anti-CD98/Slc3a2 Antibody Picoband®

4F2 cell-surface antigen heavy chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC3A2 (solute carrier family 3 member 2) gene. Predicted to enable amino acid transmembrane transporter activity and double-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in carboxylic acid transport and viral entry into host cell. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to exogenous dsRNA. Located in apical pole of neuron. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human SLC3A2 (solute carrier family 3 member 2) .

Transcriptional corepressor which facilitates transcriptional repression via its association with DNA-binding transcription factors and recruitment of other corepressors and histone-modifying enzymes (PubMed:12559562, PubMed:15203199) . Can repress the expression of MMP7 in a ZBTB33-dependent manner (PubMed:23251453) . Can repress transactivation mediated by TCF12 (PubMed:16803958) . Acts as a negative regulator of adipogenesis (By similarity) . The AML1-MTG8/ETO fusion protein frequently found in leukemic cells is involved in leukemogenesis and contributes to hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell self-renewal (PubMed:23812588) .
