Background
MTERFD1 Antibody: Members of the mTERF (mitochondrial transcription termination factor) family, are mitochondrial proteins that are believed to be transcription termination factors. MTERFD1 is composed of three leucine zippers that form a three-stranded coiled-coil that binds to DNA. It binds promoter DNA and acts as a mitochondrial transcription regulator. It has been suggested that only the phosphorylated form of MTERFD1 has transcription termination activity. A closely related mTERF family member, MTERFD3, is believed to be involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth by modulating mitochondrial transcription.
