Other Name：BLZF1;JEM1;Golgin-45;Basic leucine zipper nuclear factor 1;JEM-1;p45 basic leucine-zipper nuclear factor

Observed Band(KD)：47kD

Background：caution:Because of the presence of a potential basic motif and leucine-zipper domain, PubMed:9129147 and PubMed:11056056 have thought that BLZF1 is a potential transcription factor. They found it localized in the nucleus, except isoform 2, which was cytoplasmic. However, homology at several typical position for basic or hydrophobic residues is missing.,function:Required for normal Golgi structure and for protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface.,induction:Up-regulated by retinoids.,subunit:Interacts with GORASP2 and with the GTP-bound form of RAB2, but not with other Golgi Rab proteins. GORASP2 and BLZF1 form a RAB2 effector complex on medial Golgi.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Also found in cell lines derived from several hematopoietic pathologies, such as T-cell leukemia, pro-B, pre-B, myeloma, and plasmacytoma cell lines, but not in Burkitt lymphoma cells.,
