SGT1 Antibody / ECD

Protein SGT1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ECD gene. Regulator of p53/TP53 stability and function. Inhibits MDM2-mediated degradation of p53/TP53 possibly by cooperating in part with TXNIP. May be involved transcriptional regulation. In vitro has intrinsic transactivation activity enhanced by EP300. May be a transcriptional activator required for the expression of glycolytic genes. Involved in regulation of cell cycle progression. Proposed to disrupt Rb-E2F binding leading to transcriptional activation of E2F proteins. The cell cycle -regulating function may depend on its RUVBL1-mediated association with the R2TP complex. May play a role in regulation of pre-mRNA splicing.
