Anti-FUS

FUS has been identified as a frequent translocation fusion partner of various transcription factors. FUS fusion genes have been shown to be associated with multiple tumor types which include liposarcoma, leukemia, histocytoma, and sarcoma. FUS is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein that associates with the nuclear matrix and Cajal bodies and appears to play a role in splicesome assembly, pre-mRNA splicing, DNA repair, transcriptional regulation and homologous recombination. Alternate names for FUS include RNA-binding protein FUS, oncogene FUS, oncogene TLS, translocated in liposarcomas, TLS, 75 kDa DNA-pairing protein, POMp75, CHOP, FUS-CHOP, TLS/CHOP, and hnRNP-P2.
