MORF4/L1/2 (F-19) Antibody: sc-26527

MORF4/L1/2 Background Information
The members of the mortality factor family include mortality factor 4 (MORF4), mortality factor 4 like 1 (MORF4L1), also known as MORF4-related gene 15 (MRG15), and mortality factor 4 like 2 (MORF4L2), also known as MORF-4 related gene X (MRGX). The human MORF4 gene maps to chromosome 4q34.1. MORF4 induces a senescent-like phenotype in complementation group B immortal cell lines. The genes encoding MORF4L1 and MORF4L2 map to chromosomes 15q25.1 and Xq22.2, respectively. MORF4, MORF4L1 and MORF4L2 each contain a C-terminal leucine zipper. An association between MORF4L1, Rb (retinoblastoma tumor suppressor) and PAM14 (protein associated with MORF4L1) suggests a role for MORF4L1 in transcription regulation. MORF4L1 also associates with the histone acetyl transferase MOF. In addition, MORF4, MORF4L1 and MORF4L2 interact with mSin3A and TLE (transducin-like enhancer of split). The MORF/mSin3A/TLE association may repress transcription. In Purkinje cells, MORF4L1 localizes to the dendrites and the nuclei.
