Analysis of APBB1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2195-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: amyloid beta precursor protein binding family B member 1<br />Also known as: RIR; FE65; MGC:9072<br />The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Fe65 protein family. It is an adapter protein localized in the nucleus. It interacts with Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein (APP), transcription factors CP2/LSF/LBP1, and low-density lipoprotein receptor-associated protein. APP serves as a cytoplasmic anchor site that prevents nuclear translocation of gene products. This encoded protein may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. It is thought to regulate transcription. Furthermore, it has also been observed to prevent cell cycle progression by downregulating the expression of thymidylate synthase. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
