Background: CRTC1 (CREB-Regulated Transcription Coactivator 1), also known as MECT1, TORC1 or KIAA0616, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRTC1 gene. By sequence analysis, Tonon et al. (2003) mapped the CRTC1 gene to chromosome 19p13. Kovacs et al. (2007) found that Torc1 was expressed in adult mouse brain and cultured neurons, and that it translocated to the nucleus upon concomitant activation of calcium and cAMP signaling pathways. Mair et al. (2011) demonstrated that CRTC1 is a direct AMPK target, and interacts with the CREB homolog-1 (CRH1) transcription factor in vivo. The prolongevity effects of activating AMPK or deactivating calcineurin decrease CRTC1 and CRH1 activity and induce transcriptional responses similar to those of CRH1-null worms.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
TORC1: Transcriptional coactivator for CREB1 which activates transcription through both consensus and variant cAMP response element (CRE) sites. Acts as a coactivator, in the SIK/TORC signaling pathway, being active when dephosphorylated and acts independently of CREB1 'Ser-133' phosphorylation. Enhances the interaction of CREB1 with TAF4. Regulates the expression of specific CREB-activated genes such as the steroidogenic gene, StAR. Potent coactivator of PGC1alpha and inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle cells. Also coactivator for TAX activation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) long terminal repeats (LTR). In the hippocampus, involved in late-phase long- term potentiation (L-LTP) maintenance at the Schaffer collateral- CA1 synapses. May be required for dendritic growth of developing cortical neurons. Binds, as a tetramer, through its N-terminal region, with the bZIP domain of CREB1. 'Arg-314' in the bZIP domain of CREB1 is essential for this interaction. Interaction, via its C-terminal, with TAF4, enhances recruitment of TAF4 to CREB1. Binds HTLV1 Tax. Highly expressed in adult and fetal brain. Located to specific regions such as the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. Very low expression in other tissues such as heart, spleen, lung, skeletal muscle, salivary gland, ovary and kidney. Belongs to the TORC family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

WB: 0.25-0.5ug/mL IHC-P: 0.5-1ug/mL FC/FACS: 1-3 mug/1x106 cells Direct ELISA: 0.1-0.5ug/mL Tested Species: In-house tested species with positive results. By Heat: Boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH6.0, for 20mins is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections. Other applications have not been tested. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TORC1 crtc1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TORC1/CRTC1, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.Precautions
