Bromodomain Testis-specific Protein (BrdT), human recombinant

BrdT is similar to the RING3 protein family. It possesses 2 bromodomain motifs and a PEST sequence. The bromodomain is found in proteins that regulate transcription. BrdT drives a meiotic and post-meiotic gene expression program. It also controls the genome-wide post-meiotic genome reorganization that occurs after histone hyperacetylation in elongating spermatids. It may play a role in the transcriptional regulation of spermatogenesis. It also seems to have a structural ATP-independent role in the reorganization of acetylated chromatin. BioVision’s recombinant protein includes Bromo 1 domain (22-138 aa) with N-terminal His-tag.
