YWHAQ Antibody Blocking Peptide

This gene product belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. This highly conserved protein family is found in both plants and mammals， and this protein is 99% identical to the mouse and rat orthologs. This gene is upregulated in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It contains in its 5’ UTR a 6 bp tandem repeat sequence which is polymorphic， however， there is no correlation between the repeat number and the disease.
