Expressed at highest levels in cerebral cortex, SLITRK3 is also found in adult and fetal neural tissues and some astrocytic brain tumors. SLITRK3 functions to suppress neurite outgrowth and plays a role in the regulation of neuronal function. SLITRK3 is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 3, which houses over 1,100 genes, including a chemokine receptor (CKR) gene cluster and a variety of human cancer-related gene loci.

Anti-DAZ4 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 555)
Supplier: Bioss
Spermatogenesis is the process by which male spermatogonia develop into mature spermatozoa. DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) are RNA-binding proteins that play an essential role in spermatogenesis. DAZ proteins influence the first stages of spermatogenesis and the maintenance of germ cell populations. DAZ proteins (DAZ1, DAZ2, DAZ3, DAZ4 and DAZ5) are encoded by separate genes on chromosome Y, each of which contain an AZFc domain in their coding region. DAZ proteins localize to the nucleus of spermatogonia, but relocate to the cytoplasm during meiosis. DAZ proteins contain an RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain that may regulate mRNA translation by binding to the 3’UTR. Deletions in the genes encoding DAZ proteins may cause azoospermia or oligospermia which can lead to male infertility. DAZ4 (deleted in azoospermia 4), also known as pDP1680 or pDP1681, is a 579 amino acid testis specific protein that contains nine DAZ-like domains and two RNA recognition motifs (RRM). DAZ4 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms.

The tripartite motif (TRIM) family of proteins are characterized by a conserved TRIM domain that includes a coiled-coil region, a B-box type zinc finger, one RING finger and three zinc-binding domains. TRIM50 (tripartite motif containing 50), also known as TRIM50A or E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM50, is a 487 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that functions as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Containing one RING-type zinc finger, a B30.2/SPRY domain and a single B box-type zinc finger, TRIM50 belongs to the TRIM/RBCC family and undergoes post-translational auto-ubiquitination. TRIM50 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms, designated TRIM50 alpha and TRIM50 beta, and has the ability to form dimers and trimers. The gene encoding TRIM50 maps to human chromosome 7, which houses over 1,000 genes, comprises nearly 5% of the human genome and has been linked to Osteogenesis imperfecta, Pendred syndrome, Lissencephaly, Citrullinemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.

Anti-RNF23 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Cy5®)
Supplier: Bioss
The RING-type zinc finger motif is present in a number of viral and eukaryotic proteins and is made of a conserved cysteine-rich domain that is able to bind two zinc atoms. Proteins that contain this conserved domain are generally involved in the ubiquitination pathway of protein degradation. RNF23 (RING finger protein 23), also known as tripartite motif-containing protein 39 (TRIM39) or testis-abundant finger protein, is a 518 amino acid protein belonging to the TRIM/RBCC family that is known to interact with MOAP1. Ubiquitously expressed and existing as two alternatively spliced isoforms, RNF23 is found at highest levels in spleen, testis, brain, kidney, liver, heart and skeletal muscle. RNF23 typically localizes to cytosol but shifts to mitochondria upon co-localization with MOAP1, a short-lived, pro-apoptotic protein which RNF23 prevents from becoming poly-ubiquitinated and degraded, thereby facilitating apoptosis. RNF23 contains one B box-type zinc finger, a B30.2/SPRY domain and a single RING-type zinc finger.
