Anti-Ataxin 1/ATXN1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Ataxin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATXN1 gene. The ATXN1 gene had been mapped to 6p23 by in situ hybridization. Ataxin-1 (ATXN1), a causative factor for spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), and the related Brother of ATXN1 (BOAT1) are human proteins involved in transcriptional repression. ATXN1 and BOAT1 might participate in several Notch-controlled developmental and pathological processes.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Ataxin 1, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.

Chromatin-binding factor that repress Notch signaling in the absence of Notch intracellular domain by acting as a CBF1 corepressor. Binds to the HEY promoter and might assist, along with NCOR2, RBPJ-mediated repression. Binds RNA in vitro. May be involved in RNA metabolism. .
