Anti-14-3-3 Zeta

14-3-3zeta is a central cellular hub protein regulating multiple signaling pathways involved in cancer development, progression and therapeutic resistance. It is linked to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function in neurons, with reduced levels provoking ER stress and increasing vulnerability to excitotoxic injury. It is up-regulated in malignancy, which suggests its potential as a putative drug target for the treatment of colorectal cancer and tumorgenesis in pancreas,EOC (epithelial ovarian cancer). Protein function: Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner.
