PIAS4
Encyclopedia
E3 SUMO-protein ligase PIAS4 also known as protein inhibitor of activated STAT protein 4 (PIAS4) or protein inhibitor of activated STAT protein gamma (PIASg or PIASy) is an enzyme
Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...

 that in humans is encoded by the PIAS4 gene
Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions

PIAS4 has been shown to interact
Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1
Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LEF1 gene.- Function :Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 is a 48-kD nuclear protein that is expressed in pre-B and T cells. It binds to a functionally important site in the T-cell receptor-alpha enhancer and confers...
