Anti-Zinc finger MYM-type protein 1 ZMYM1 Antibody

Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains characterized by the unique role of zinc and have a wide variety of functions such as transcriptional activation or repression. The protein folding and the DNA binding ability are governed by the coordination of a zinc ion. As a member of the MYM (myeloproliferative and mental retardation) gene family, ZMYM1 is widely expressed in different tissues in eukaryotes under several forms derived by alternative splicing. While its function remains unknown, the related protein ZMYM2 has been shown to associate with and stabilize the LSD1-CoREST-HDAC1 (LCH) complex of chromatin through its MYM-type zinc fingers, thereby enhancing the transcriptional repression of several genes, suggesting that ZMYM1 may play a similar role.

At least two isoforms of ZMYM1 are known to exist; this antibody will detect only the shorter isoform. ZMYM1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other ZMYM protein family members.

ZMYM1 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human ZMYM1 . The immunogen is located within amino acids 990 - 1040 of ZMYM1.

ZMYM1 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
