Anti-B-cell lymphoma 3 protein BCL3 Antibody

The proto-oncogene Bcl-3, believed to be involved in certain human B cell leukemias, encodes a protein that contributes to the regulation of transcriptional activation of NF-κ-B target genes. BCL3 contains seven ankyrin repeats, which are most closely related to those found in I-κ-B proteins. The expression of this gene can be induced by NF-κ-B, which forms a part of the autoregulatory loop that controls the nuclear residence of p50 NF-κ-B. It contributes to the regulation of cell proliferation. A chromosomal aberration involving BCL3 may be a cause of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Rabbit polyclonal BCL3 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human BCL3. The immunogen is located within amino acids 360 - 410 of BCL3.

Contributes to the regulation of transcriptional activation of NF-kappa-B target genes. In the cytoplasm, inhibits the nuclear translocation of the NF-kappa-B p50 subunit. In the nucleus, acts as transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of NF-kappa-B target genes. Contributes to the regulation of cell proliferation (By similarity) .
