Other Names | PIN2/TERF1-interacting telomerase inhibitor 1, Liver-related putative tumor suppressor, Pin2-interacting protein X1, Protein 67-11-3, TRF1-interacting protein 1, PINX1, LPTL, LPTS |
Calculated MW | 37035 MW KDa |
Application Details | Western blot, 0.1-0.5 µg/ml, Human |
Subcellular Localization | Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus. Chromosome, telomere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Localizes in nucleoli, at telomere speckles and to the outer plate of kinetochores. Localization to the kinetochore is mediated by its central region and depends on NDC80 and CENPE. |
Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous; expressed at low levels. Not detectable in a number of hepatocarcinoma cell lines. |
Protein Name | PIN2/TERF1-interacting telomerase inhibitor 1 |
Contents | Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg NaN3. |
Immunogen | A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human PINX1 (54-83aa DHIKVQVKNNHLGLGATINNEDNWIAHQDD), different from the related mouse and rat sequences by three amino acids. |
Purification | Immunogen affinity purified. |
Cross Reactivity | No cross reactivity with other proteins |
Storage | At -20˚C for one year. After r˚Constitution, at 4˚C for one month. It˚Can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for a longer time.Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
Sequence Similarities | Belongs to the PINX1 family. |
Name | PINX1 |

Synonyms | LPTL, LPTS |
Function | Microtubule-binding protein essential for faithful chromosome segregation. Mediates TRF1 and TERT accumulation in nucleolus and enhances TRF1 binding to telomeres. Inhibits telomerase activity. May inhibit cell proliferation and act as tumor suppressor. |

Background
PINX1, also known as PIN2 interacting protein 1, is a telomerase inhibitor and a possible tumor suppressor. It is mapped to 8p23. Over-expression of PINX1 results in decreased telomerase activity, telomere shortening, and induction of crisis. Reduction of PINX1 leads to an increase in telomerase activity and elongation of telomeres. PINX1 differs from other proteins that regulate telomere length in that it acts on telomerase while other proteins adjust telomere length without affecting telomerase activity. The PINX1 budding yeast orthologue Gnop1 inhibits telomerase by isolating the uncomplexed TERT protein so that it cannot associate with the telomerase template RNA, which prevents telomerase from being assembled. However, in humans, PINX1 impedes already assembled telomerase.
