Human/Mouse/Rat TRRAP Alexa Fluor™ Plus 680-conjugated Antibody

TRRAP (Transformation/transcription domain-associated protein; also PAF350/400 and STAF40) is a 400-450 kDa member of the TRA1 subfamily, PI3/PI4 kinase family, ATM superfamily of molecules. It is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that functions as a promoter of gene transcription. In particular, the activity of the E2F transcription factor family is regulated by the degree of histone acetylation. Deacetylation inhibits E2F-mediated transcription, while acetylation promotes gene transcription. TRRAP promotes histone acetylation by serving as a positive modulator/cofactor for GCN5 acetyltransferase activity. TRRAP also acts independently of GCN5. It serves as a recruiter for Skp1, a ubiquitin ligase that ubiquitates chromatin-bound beta-catenin, leading to a downregulation of Wnt-signaling activity. Human TRRAP is 3859 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one Pro-rich region (aa 485-526), an NLS (aa 2047-2062), two FAT domains (aa 2704-3275 and 3827-3859) and a nonenzymatic PI3/PI4 kinase domain (aa 3528-3826). There are multiple potential isoform variants. They show various combinations of a deletion involving aa 1493-1510, an Ala substitution for aa 3001-3012, a 119 aa substitution for aa 3784-3859, and an 18 aa insertion after Asp3287. Over aa 3610-3859, human TRRAP shares 99% aa identity with mouse TRRAP.
