Invitrogen™ Human DMAP1 (aa 242-338) Control Fragment Recombinant Protein

Description

Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (100%), Rat (100%). This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.

DNA methyltransferase 1-associated protein 1 (DMAP1) is involved in the repression or activation of transcription. The encoded protein can independently repress transcription and is targeted to replication foci throughout S phase by interacting directly with the N-terminus of DNA methyltransferase 1. During late S phase, histone deacetylase 2 is added to this complex, providing a means to deacetylate histones in transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin following replication. The protein also specifically potentiates DAXX-mediated repression of glucocorticoid receptor-dependent transcription. The encoded protein is also a component of the nucleosome acetyltransferase of H4 complex and interacts with the transcriptional corepressor tumor susceptibility gene 101 and the pro-apoptotic death-associated protein 6, among others. DMAP1 is found in a wide variety of living organisms from yeasts to humans. The human DMAP1 gene is localized on chromosome 1p34.
