Anti-PARP9 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Poly (ADP-ribosyl) ation is a post-translational modification of proteins mediated by one of the 17 members of the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) . PARP-9 belongs to the subfamily of macroPARPs, associating one to three macro domains to the PARP domain. Overexpression of PARP-9 stimulates cell migration in vitro, suggesting a role for PARP-9 in the promotion of malignant B cell migration and dissemination in high risk DLBCL. PARP-9 is also likely a transcription coactivator, its overexpression in B lymphocytes, stimulated by IFNγ , inducing the transcription of IFNγ -controlled genes.

Component of the BHC complex, a corepressor complex that represses transcription of neuron-specific genes in non-neuronal cells. The BHC complex is recruited at RE1/NRSE sites by REST and acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier. In the BHC complex, it may act as a scaffold. Inhibits KDM1A-mediated demethylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 in vitro, suggesting a role in demethylation regulation.
