NF-E4 (Acetyl Lys43) Polyclonal Antibody

The erythroid-specific protein encoded by NFE4, and the ubiquitous transcription factor CP2, form the stage selector protein(SSP) complex, which is involved in preferential expression of the gamma-globin genes in fetal erythroid cells. Alternate use of an in-frame upstream non-AUG(CUG) translation initiation codon, and a downstream AUG codon, results in two isoforms. While the long isoform(22 kDa) acts as an activator, the short isoform(14 kDa) has been shown to repress gamma-globin gene expression. NFE4 is located in an intron of the FBXL13 gene on the opposite strand.
