AHP1385 recognises human Apoptosis Antagonizing Transcription Factor (AATF), also known as Che-1, a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein.
Research indicates that AATF functions as a general inhibitor of the histone deacetylase HDAC1. It has been also demonstrated that AATF activates transcription factor E2F and that it is involved in the activation of anti-apoptotic pathways.
AATF has been shown to protect neural cells against oxidative damage suggesting it may have therapeutic uses in Alzheimer's Disease.
This antibody has been reported to work in western blotting.
