epitope corresponding to amino acids 576-664 mapping at the C-terminus of TRC8 of human origin
Modification Notes
TRC8 (translocation in renal carcinoma on chromosome 8), also known as RNF139 (ring finger protein 139), RCA1 or HRCA1 (hereditary renal cancer associated 1), is a multi-pass membrane protein that is predominantly expressed in testis, adrenal gland and placenta and is expressed at lower levels in liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, kidney, brain, heart and lung. Localizing to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), TRC8 contains ten transmembrane segments, a sterol-sensing domain and one RING-type zinc finger and may function as a ubiquitin ligase and signaling receptor. TRC8 physically interacts with VHL (Von Hippel Lindau disease tumor suppressor), and the inhibition of either of these proteins leads to the same ventral midline defect. Disruption of the TRC8 gene, caused by the 3;8 chromosomal translocation, is associated with hereditary renal cell carcinoma (RCC), suggesting that TRC8 is a potential tumor suppressor for RCC. Further supporting its role as a tumor suppressor, TRC8 mediates the induction of G2/M phase arrest, increased apoptosis and decreased DNA synthesis.
