Anti-Seryl-tRNA synthetase/SERS/SARS1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

This gene belongs to the class II amino-acyl tRNA family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the transfer of L-serine to tRNA (Ser) and is related to bacterial and yeast counterparts. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described but the biological validity of all variants is unknown.

Transcriptional activator that binds to the consensus sequence 5'-AGATAG-3' and plays a key role in cardiac development and function (PubMed:24000169, PubMed:27984724) . In cooperation with TBX5, it binds to cardiac super-enhancers and promotes cardiomyocyte gene expression, while it downregulates endocardial and endothelial gene expression (PubMed:27984724) . Involved in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) -mediated induction of cardiac- specific gene expression. Binds to BMP response element (BMPRE) DNA sequences within cardiac activating regions (By similarity) . Acts as a transcriptional activator of ANF in cooperation with NKX2-5 (By similarity) . Promotes cardiac myocyte enlargement (PubMed:20081228) . Required during testicular development (PubMed:21220346) . May play a role in sphingolipid signaling by regulating the expression of sphingosine-1-phosphate degrading enzyme, spingosine-1-phosphate lyase (PubMed:15734735) .
