Thap11/Ronin抗体可以识别内源性的总Thap11/Ronin蛋白。多抗由合成肽段免疫动物产生,该肽段与人Thap11蛋白邻近羧基末端氨基酸残基序列一致。抗体由蛋白A和肽段亲和层析技术纯化得到。Thanatos-associated protein (Thap)蛋白是一种细胞因子在进化中保守,含有类似于果蝇P因子转座酶的DNA结合结构域(1)。已知有12种人类Thap蛋白,都作为位点特异性DNA结合因子,涉及转录调控,细胞增殖,染色体修饰和凋亡(2-4)。人Thap11被认为能够通过抑制c-Myc转录而抑制细胞生长(5)。Thap11的小鼠同源物,Ronin,被认为是小鼠胚胎干细胞发育过程中的关键蛋白(6)。
Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Rat, Monkey
Specificity / Sensitivity
Thap11/Ronin Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total Thap11/Ronin protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human Thap11 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Thanatos-associated protein (Thap) proteins are a family of cellular factors that are characterized by an evolutionarily conserved protein motif similar to the DNA-binding domain of Drosophila P element transposase (1). There are 12 known human Thap proteins that all act as site-specific DNA-binding factors involved in transcriptional regulation, cell proliferation, chromatin modification, and apoptosis (2-4). Human Thap11 has been shown to suppress cell growth through transcriptional suppression of c-Myc (5). The mouse homolog of Thap11, Ronin, has been identified as an essential factor underlying embryogenesis in mouse embryonic stem cells (6).
