Anti-PIWIL4/PIWI Antibody Picoband®

PIWI-like protein 4 (PIWIL4) is a 97 kDa member of the argonaute family of proteins and the PIWI subfamily. Human PIWIL4 is 852 amino acids (aa) in length and contains one PAZ domain (aa 268-384) and one PIWI domain (aa 546-838) . There are three isoforms for human PIWIL4. Isoform 1 is the standard protein. Isoform 2 has a two aa substitution for aa 1-29 in isoform 1 and a deletion of aa 523-852. Isoform 3 has a deletion of aa 1-69 and a deletion of aa 523-852. Human PIWIL4 shares 77% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat PIWIL4. PIWIL4 plays a central role in spermatogenesis.

Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor. Represses transcription at least in part by recruitment of the histone methyltransferase EHMT2/G9A and histone deacetylases such as HDAC1. Regulates hematopoiesis-associated protein-coding and microRNA (miRNA) genes. May regulate the expression of proteins involved in extracellular matrix development and maintenance, including fibrillar collagens, such as COL4A1 and COL11A1, connective tissue components, such as HAPLN1, and molecules regulating cell migration and adhesion, including EDIL3 and TGFB2. May cause G2/M arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells.
