Anti-KAT3B/p300/EP300 Antibody Picoband®

E1A binding protein p300 also known as EP300 or p300 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EP300 gene. The EP300 gene is located on the long (q) arm of the human chromosome 22 at position 13.2. This protein regulates the activity of many genes in tissues throughout the body. It plays an essential role in regulating cell growth and division, prompting cells to mature and assume specialized functions (differentiate), and preventing the growth of cancerous tumors. The EP300 protein appears to be critical for normal development before and after birth. It carries out its function by activating transcription. In addition, the protein functions as histone acetyltransferase that regulates transcription via chromatin remodeling, and is important in the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation. EP300 also mediates cAMP-gene regulation by binding specifically to phosphorylated CREB protein.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human KAT3B/p300/EP300, which shares 76.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse EP300.
