Analysis of PBXIP1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0562-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: PBX homeobox interacting protein 1<br />Also known as: HPIP<br />The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the PBX1 homeodomain protein, inhibiting its transcriptional activation potential by preventing its binding to DNA. The encoded protein is found primarily in the cytoplasm but can be shuttled into the nucleus where it also interacts with estrogen receptors to promote the proliferation of breast, brain and lung tumors. Several transcript variants of this gene have been found encoding different isoforms. Many more variants exist, but their full lengths have not been determined.
