Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The antibody detects endogenous level of total TAZ protein._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Peptide sequence around aa. 386-390 (V-E-S-A-L), according to the protein NP_001161750.1_x000D_ Target description_x000D_ Transcriptional coactivator which acts as a downstream regulatory target in the Hippo signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein MST1/MST2, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ. WWTR1 enhances PAX8 and NKX2-1/TTF1-dependent gene activation. Regulates the nuclear accumulation of SMADS and has a key role in coupling them to the transcriptional machinery such as the mediator complex. Regulates embryonic stem-cell self-renewal, promotes cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol_x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
