This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which has been localized to adherens junctions and shown to bind to myosin VIIA. Examination of expression of this gene in gastric cancer tissues have shown that expression is decreased which appears to be related to hypermethylation of the promoter. Expression of this gene may also be inhibited by binding of a specific microRNA to a target sequence in the 3' UTR of the transcripts. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
VGF Antibody detects endogenous levels of total VGF.
This gene is specifically expressed in a subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells, and is upregulated by nerve growth factor. The structural organization of this gene is similar to that of the rat gene, and both the translated and the untranslated regions show a high degree of sequence similarity to the rat gene. The encoded secretory protein also shares similarities with the secretogranin/chromogranin family, however, its exact function is not known.
VGLL1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of VGLL1.
The protein encoded by this gene binds proteins of the TEA domain family of transcription factors (TEFs) through the Vg (vestigial) homology region found in its N-terminus. It may thus function as a specific coactivator for the mammalian TEFs. TDU interacted directly with the TEA domain family member, TEF1, and deletion of the Vg homology region abolished the interaction. The TDU-TEF1 dimer activated a reporter plasmid, and expression of TDU in Drosophila rescued loss of Vg function. The interaction was stronger in cardiac myocytes, suggesting a myocyte-specific factor may participate in the interaction. Vgll1 was weakly active in driving expression of a reporter gene from the mouse skeletal muscle alpha-actin promoter, and Vgll1 could partially reverse the inhibitory effect of TEF1 in this assay.
