Biochem/physiol Actions

Tafazzin (TAZ) plays a vital role in the various cellular process including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in multiple human cancers. TAZ associates with other transcription factors such as RUNX2 (runt-related transcription factor 2), PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor), PAX3 and 8 (paired box gene 3 and 8) and TTF1 (thyroid transcription factor 1) and plays an essential role in osteoblastic, myogenic and adipogenic differentiation.

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.

General description

Tafazzin (TAZ) is encoded by the WW domain containing transcription regulator 1 (WWTR1) gene mapped to human chromosome Xq28. The encoded protein contains 400 amino acids. It is characterized by a conserved WW domain, implicated in binding PPXY motif, a coiled-coil region associated with protein-protein interaction and a C-terminal motif involved in binding the PDZ domain.
