Gene Information

human ... YWHAZ(7534)

General description

Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, zeta (YWHAZ) is a member of the 14-3-3 family that regulates signal transduction. Increased expression of YWHAZ has been linked to the growth and metastasis of gastric carcinoma. YWHAZ amplification is associated with breast cancer recurrence and chemotherapy resistance.
Rabbit Anti-YWHAZ antibody recognizes chicken, bovine, pig, human, mouse, rat, and canine YWHAZ.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human YWHAZ

Application

Rabbit Anti-YWHAZ antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 5μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

YWHAZ 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, rat and sheep orthologs. The protein interacts with IRS1 protein, suggesting a role in regulating insulin sensitivity.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, rat and sheep orthologs. The encoded protein interacts with IRS1 protein, suggesting a role in regulating insulin sensitivity. Two transcript variants differing in the 5′ UTR, but encoding the same protein, have been identified for this gene.

Adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer after surgery has effectively lowered metastatic recurrence rates. However, a considerable proportion of women suffer recurrent cancer at distant metastatic sites despite adjuvant treatment. Identification of the genes crucial for tumor response to specific chemotherapy
Y Nishimura et al.

Several studies have demonstrated that YWHAZ (14-3-3ζ), included in the 14-3-3 family of proteins, has been implicated in the initiation and progression of cancers. We tested whether YWHAZ acted as a cancer-promoting gene through its activation/overexpression in gastric cancer (GC).

Phase I Drug Metabolism

Phase I biotransformation reactions introduce or expose functional groups on the drug with the goal of increasing the polarity of the compound. Although Phase I drug metabolism occurs in most tissues, the primary and first pass site of metabolism occurs during hepatic circulation.
