ZGPAT blocking peptide
ZGPAT Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
ZGPAT: Transcription repressor that specifically binds the 5'- GGAG[GA]A[GA]A-3' consensus sequence. Represses transcription by recruiting the chromatin multiprotein complex NuRD to target promoters. Negatively regulates expression of EGFR, a gene involved in cell proliferation, survival and migration. Its ability to repress genes of the EGFR pathway suggest it may act as a tumor suppressor. Able to suppress breast carcinogenesis. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Transcription factor
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20q13.3
Cellular Component: nucleus
Molecular Function: protein binding; sequence-specific DNA binding; metal ion binding; transcription factor activity
Biological Process: negative regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor activity; transcription, DNA-dependent; negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
