Cellular Location
Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Nucleus. Note: Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm. Detected in nuclear paraspeckles that are found close to splicing speckles. Translocates to the cell membrane following binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2
Tissue Location
Detected in fetal and ***** kidney, brain and spleen.
Preparation and Storage
Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 degree C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 degree C.
Other Notes
Small volumes of AMER1 blocking peptide vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
Related Product Information for
AMER1 blocking peptide
Regulator of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Acts by specifically binding phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), translocating to the cell membrane and interacting with key regulators of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, such as components of the beta-catenin destruction complex. Acts both as a positive and negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway, depending on the context: acts as a positive regulator by promoting LRP6 phosphorylation. Also acts as a negative regulator by acting as a scaffold protein for the beta- catenin destruction complex and promoting stabilization of Axin at the cell membrane. Promotes CTNNB1 ubiquitination and degradation. Involved in kidney development.

NCBI Summary for AMER1
The protein encoded by this gene upregulates trancriptional activation by the Wilms tumor protein and interacts with many other proteins, including CTNNB1, APC, AXIN1, and AXIN2. Defects in this gene are a cause of osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OSCS). [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
UniProt Comments for AMER1
WTX: a peripheral membrane protein on the cytoplasmic side that shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm. Detected in nuclear paraspeckles that are found close to splicing speckles. Enhances trancription activation by WT1. Promotes CTNNB1 ubiquitination and degradation. Antagonizes Wnt and CTNNB1 signaling. Inactivated in approximately one-third of Wilms tumors. Detected in fetal and ***** kidney, brain and spleen. Involved in kidney development. Interacts with CTNNB1, AXIN1, KEAP1, APC and BTRC. Interacts with SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes containing BTRC and/or FBXW11. Identified in a complex containing CTNNB1, APC, AXIN1 and AXIN2. Two alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported.
