FUS: ELISA Kits

FUS, fused in sarcoma, encodes a multifunctional protein component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex. Nuclear receptor coactivator that directly binds nuclear receptors and stimulates the transcriptional activities in a hormone-dependent fashion. Coactivates expression in an agonist- and AF2-dependent manner. Involved in the coactivation of different nuclear receptors, such as for steroids (GR and ERs), retinoids (RARs and RXRs), thyroid hormone (TRs), vitamin D3 (VDR) and prostanoids (PPARs). Probably functions as a general coactivator, rather than just a nuclear receptor coactivator. May also be involved in the coactivation of the NF-kappa-B pathway. May coactivate expression via a remodeling of chromatin and its interaction with histone acetyltransferase proteins. Involved in placental, cardiac, hepatic and embryonic development. NCOA6 is over-expressed in several breast cancer cell lines.
