Description: PINX1, also known as PIN2 interacting protein 1, is a telomerase inhibitor and a possible tumor suppressor. It is mapped to 8p23. Over-expression of PINX1 results in decreased telomerase activity, telomere shortening, and induction of crisis. Reduction of PINX1 leads to an increase in telomerase activity and elongation of telomeres. PINX1 differs from other proteins that regulate telomere length in that it acts on telomerase while other proteins adjust telomere length without affecting telomerase activity. The PINX1 budding yeast orthologue Gnop1 inhibits telomerase by isolating the uncomplexed TERT protein so that it cannot associate with the telomerase template RNA, which prevents telomerase from being assembled. However, in humans, PINX1 impedes already assembled telomerase.

Immunogen: Amino acids DHIKVQVKNNHLGLGATINNEDNWIAHQDD of human PINX1 were used as the immunogen for the PINX1 antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the PINX1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
