NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene was identified by its ability to bind to the nuclear localization signal of BRCA1 and other proteins. It is a cytoplasmic protein which may regulate nuclear targeting by retaining proteins with a nuclear localization signal in the cytoplasm. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
BRAP: Negatively regulates MAP kinase activation by limiting the formation of Raf/MEK complexes probably by inactivation of the KSR1 scaffold protein. Also acts as a Ras responsive E3 ubiquitin ligase that, on activation of Ras, is modified by auto- polyubiquitination resulting in the release of inhibition of Raf/MEK complex formation. May also act as a cytoplasmic retention protein with a role in regulating nuclear transport.
Protein type: EC 6.3.2.-; EC 6.3.2.19; Ligase; Ubiquitin conjugating system; Ubiquitin ligase
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q24.12
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; nuclear membrane; ubiquitin ligase complex
Molecular Function: identical protein binding; nuclear localization sequence binding; protein binding; ubiquitin-protein ligase activity
Biological Process: MAPKKK cascade; negative regulation of signal transduction; protein ubiquitination; Ras protein signal transduction
Product Notes
The BRCA1 brap (Catalog #
AAA9422789) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Yeast and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is Full Length, 1-592aa. The Recombinant Homo sapiens BRCA1-associated protein reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"BRCA1-associated, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
