Anti-WDR46 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

WD repeat-containing protein 46 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR46 gene. Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) . Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of small-subunit processome. Predicted to be active in nucleolus.

Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors.
