REQUIEM Antibody

Requiem is a member of the d4 domain family, characterized by a zinc finger-like structural motif. This protein functions as a transcription factor which is necessary for the apoptotic response following deprivation of survival factors. It is expressed in numerous tissues in both cytosolic and nuclear regions and likely serves a regulatory role in rapid hematopoietic cell growth and turnover. Requiem has been found to act as an adaptor protein that links the NF-kappaB and SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling factor and is considered a candidate gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, an inherited cancer syndrome involving multiple parathyroid, enteropancreatic, and pituitary tumors.
