NRIP: Proteins and Enzymes

WD-repeat proteins are a large family of eukaryotic proteins coordinating multi-protein complex assemblies. Their role has been implicated in multiple cellular processes including signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control and apoptosis. NRIP is a novel 860a.a nuclear protein consisting of seven conserved WD40 domains and one NLS motif. It binds to androgen and glucocorticoid receptors and up-regulates their transcriptional activity, thereby functioning as a nuclear ...
