Gene Information

human ... WWTR1(25937)

General description

WWTR1 (WW domain containing transcription regulator 1) is also known as TAZ (transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif). It is a transcriptional coactivator with a N-terminal TEAD-binding motif and without a DNA-binding motif. TAZ is a 14-3-3 binding protein that is expressed at high level in thyroid, kidney, heart, placenta and lung. It is present in cytoplasm and nucleus. The WWTR1 gene is located on human chromosome 3q25.1.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to WW domain containing transcription regulator 1.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

WWTR1(WW domain containing transcription regulator 1)/TAZ (transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif) stimulates the multiplication of glioma cell and represses the apoptosis of glioma cells. TEADs are important interacting transcription factors of TAZ, which serve as effectors to promote cell proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. TAZ participates in mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. It plays a vital role in mechanotransduction. Overexpression of TAZ leads to increased cell proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell migration and transformation.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
