The 14-3-3 family of proteins plays a key regulatory role in signal transduction, checkpoint control, apoptotic and nutrient-sensing pathways. 14-3-3 proteins are highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed. There are at least seven isoforms, beta, gamma, epsilon,sigma, zeta, tau and eta that have been identified in mammals. The 14-3-3 tau, a subtype of the 14-3-3 family of proteins, was found in T Cells, brain and testes. This 14-3-3 tau is upregulated in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Recombinant human YWHAQ was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Alternative Names: theta polypeptide., 14-3-3 tau protein, theta protein, 14 3 3 protein theta protein, theta polypeptide protein, 14/3/3 tau, 14 3 3 tau protein, 14/3/3 tau protein, 1C5 protein, 14-3-3 tau, 14-3-3 tau protein, Tyrosine 3/tryptophan 5 -monooxygenase activation protein protein, Protein HS1 protein, KCIP1 protein, 14 3 3 protein tau protein, YWHAQ protein, 14.3.3 tau, tyr3/trp5 monooxygenase activation protein protein, Protein kinase C inhibitor protein 1 protein, theta polypeptide 14 3 3 protein T cell protein, 14 3 3 theta protein, Tyrosine 3 monooxygenase/tryptophan 5 monooxygenase activation protein protein, HS1 protein, tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/ tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein protein
