FRAT1 (frequently rearranged in advanced T-cell lymphomas-1) is a GSK3β binding protein consisting of a conserved GSK3β interacting domain. In human two FRAT genes have been identified, FRAT1 and FRAT2 whereas FRAT1-3 have been identified in mouse.
Application
Anti-FRAT1 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot at a concentration of 1-2μg/mL using rat liver extract (S1 fraction) and a HEK-293T cell lysate expressing human FRAT1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
By inhibiting GSK-3-mediated phosphorylation of β-catenin, FRAT1 plays a major role in the wnt-signaling pathway. During binding to the GSKβ3, it competes with axin, and thus displacing GSK3β from the axin-β-catenin complex. In the canonical wnt signaling pathway, FRAT1 acts more efficiently than FRAT2. FRAT1 has correlation with clinicopathologic features. It has been reported that in several human malignant tumors, FRAT is overexpressed. It′s upregulated expression have been found in several human cancer lines such as gastric cancers and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis. Although aberrant activation of beta-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF) pathway has been observed in ESCC, mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unknown. Frequently rearranged in advanced T-cell lymphomas-1 (FRAT1), overexpressed

Frat1 has been reported to be overexpressed in several human malignant tumors, including esophageal squamous, cervical, breast, and ovarian carcinoma, but the role of Frat1 in lung cancer is unknown. Our purpose is to investigate the expression of Frat1 and

FRAT1 and FRAT2 genes, clustered in human chromosome 10q24, are human homologues to mouse proto-oncogene Frat1, which promotes carcinogenesis through activation of the WNT - beta-catenin - TCF signaling pathway. FRAT1 and FRAT2 mRNAs are up-regulated together in a gastric

The Frat1 proto-oncogene was first identified as a gene contributing to tumor progression in T-cell lymphomas induced by retroviral insertional mutagenesis with the Moloney murine leukemia virus. The biological function of Frat remained elusive until its Xenopus homologue GBP was
We have isolated the entire coding sequence of human FRAT2 (frequently rearranged in advanced T-cell lymphomas-2). It exhibits appreciable amino acid identity to FRAT1 (77%) which was initially isolated as frequently being overexpressed in a murine leukemia virus insertion model
