Other Names | Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 4, NF-ATc4, NFATc4, T-cell transcription factor NFAT3, NF-AT3, NFATC4, NFAT3 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13162b was selected from the C-term region of NFATC4. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml DI water for a final concentration of 1 mg/ml. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | NFATC4 |
---|---|
Synonyms | NFAT3 |
Function | Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2 and IL- 4. Transcriptionally repressed by estrogen receptors; this inhibition is further enhanced by estrogen. Increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and has a direct role in adipocyte differentiation. May play an important role in myotube differentiation. May play a critical role in cardiac development and hypertrophy. May play a role in deafferentation-induced apoptosis of sensory neurons. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation. Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in placenta, lung, kidney, testis and ovary. Weakly expressed in spleen and thymus. Not expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Detected in hippocampus. |

Background
The product of this gene is a member of the nuclearfactors of activated T cells DNA-binding transcription complex.This complex consists of at least two components: a preexistingcytosolic component that translocates to the nucleus upon T cellreceptor (TCR) stimulation and an inducible nuclear component.Other members of this family of nuclear factors of activated Tcells also participate in the formation of this complex. Theproduct of this gene plays a role in the inducible expression ofcytokine genes in T cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2and IL-4. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encodingdifferent isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided byRefSeq].
