PTTG1/2/3 Polyclonal Antibody

Pituitary tumor-transforming 1 is a homolog of yeast securin proteins, which prevent separins from promoting sister chromatid separation. It is an anaphase-promoting complex (APC) substrate that associates with a separin until activation of the APC. PTTG1 product has transforming activity in vitro and tumorigenic activity in vivo, and the gene is highly expressed in various tumors. PTTG1 contains 2 PXXP motifs, which are required for its transforming and tumorigenic activities, as well as for its stimulation of basic fibroblast growth factor expression. It also contains a destruction box (D box) that is required for its degradation by the APC. The acidic C-terminal region of the encoded protein can act as a transactivation domain. PTTG1 product is mainly a cytosolic protein, although it partially localizes in the nucleus. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for PTTG1.
