Anti-TRIM24 Antibody

TRIM24 (TIF1), a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family, plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. TRIM24 localizes to nuclear bodies and is thought to associate with chromatin and heterochromatin-associated factors. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains (RING, B-box type 1 and B-box type 2) and a coiled-coil region. TIF1 mediates transcriptional events by interactions with the AF2 region of several nuclear receptors, such as the estrogen, retinoic acid and vitamin D3 receptors. Defects in TRIM24 are a cause of thyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC) .

TRIM24 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the center of human TRIM24. The immunogen is located within amino acids 530 - 580 of TRIM24.

Transcriptional coactivator that interacts with numerous nuclear receptors and coactivators and modulates the transcription of target genes. Interacts with chromatin depending on histone H3 modifications, having the highest affinity for histone H3 that is both unmodified at 'Lys-4' (H3K4me0) and acetylated at 'Lys-23' (H3K23ac) . Has E3 protein-ubiquitin ligase activity. Promotes ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of p53/TP53. Plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, at least in part via its effects on p53/TP53 levels. Up-regulates ligand-dependent transcription activation by AR, GCR/NR3C1, thyroid hormone receptor (TR) and ESR1. Modulates transcription activation by retinoic acid (RA) receptors, including RARA. Plays a role in regulating retinoic acid-dependent proliferation of hepatocytes (By similarity) .
