Anti-TRF1 (L215) TERF1 Antibody

Telomeric repeat-binding factor 1; NIMA-interacting protein 2; TTAGGG repeat-binding factor 1; Telomeric protein Pin2/TRF1; TERF1; PIN2, TRBF1, TRF, TRF1

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 113% (by SDS-PAGE) .

Binds the telomeric double-stranded 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeat and negatively regulates telomere length. Involved in the regulation of the mitotic spindle. Component of the shelterin complex (telosome) that is involved in the regulation of telomere length and protection. Shelterin associates with arrays of double- stranded 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeats added by telomerase and protects chromosome ends; without its protective activity, telomeres are no longer hidden from the DNA damage surveillance and chromosome ends are inappropriately processed by DNA repair pathways.

Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Chromosome, telomere. Colocalizes with telomeric DNA in interphase and prophase cells. Telomeric localization decreases in metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Associates with the mitotic spindle.
