Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome I (TRPS1), a transcriptional repressor, binds specifically to GATA sequences and represses expression of GATA-regulated genes at selected sites and stages in vertebrate development. Regulates chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. Executes multiple functions in proliferating chondrocytes, expanding the region of distal chondrocytes, activating proliferation in columnar cells and supporting the differentiation of columnar into hypertrophic chondrocytes. Defects in TRPS1 are the cause of tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type 1. TRPS1 binds to the NuRD complex via CHD4 and can repress other key transcription factors such as p63 and estrogen receptor. It is expressed at higher levels in androgen-dependent prostate cancers, reducing the expression of PSA. (Shipping Cost: €200.00)

Cadherin-6/Cadherin-K/CDH6 [MD59R]

Cadherin-6 is a member of the cadherin superfamily. Cadherins are membrane glycoproteins that mediate homophilic cell-cell adhesion and play critical roles in cell differentiation and morphogenesis. It is a type II cadherin and may play a role in kidney development as well as endometrium and placenta formation. Cadherin-6 is highly expressed in kidney and the central nervous system. It has been found to be related to fetal kidney development and has been identified as a major cadherin in renal proximal tubules where conventional renal cell carcinoma originates. The expression of Cadherin-6 is associated with tumor progression in renal cell carcinoma.
