Anti-E3 SUMO-protein ligase CBX4 CBX4 Antibody

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are chromatin-associated proteins which are important for embryonic and adult stem cell self-renewal and maintenance. At least two distinct human PcG complexes have been identified. Polycomb repressive complex I (PRC1) contains CBX4/Pc2, HPH1 and RING domain-containing proteins (RING1, RING2 and BMI1) . CBX4 (Chromobox protein homolog 4 or PC2), which functions as a transcriptional suppressor, is a candidate of KyoT2-binding proteins. It is a E3 SUMO-protein ligase which facilitates SUMO1 conjugation. Depletion of CBX4 results in decreased cellular resistance to ionizing radiation. CBX4 is directly involved in the cellular response to DNA damage.

CBX4 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human CBX4. The immunogen is located within amino acids 50 - 100 of CBX4.

Involved in the sumoylation of HNRNPK, a p53/TP53 transcriptional coactivator, hence indirectly regulates p53/TP53 transcriptional activation resulting in p21/CDKN1A expression.

CBX4 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
