Anti-GCM1 Antibody Picoband® 0,00647 Vervoeging

Chorion-specific transcription factor GCMa is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the GCM1 gene. This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein with a gcm-motif (glial cell missing motif) . The encoded protein is a homolog of the Drosophila glial cells missing gene (gcm) . This protein binds to the GCM-motif (A/G) CCCGCAT, a novel sequence among known targets of DNA-binding proteins. The N-terminal DNA-binding domain confers the unique DNA-binding activity of this protein.
