E2F6 transcription factor belongs to the third class of E2Fs. The E2F transcription factors are a family of genes that play critical roles in regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation.
Immunogen
recombinant human E2F6 protein
Application
Monoclonal Anti-E2F6 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for immunocytochemistry and indirect ELISA. It is also suitable for western blotting at a working concentration of 2-4μg/mL using HeLa nuclear cell extract.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The third class of E2Fs lacks both the retinoblastoma protein binding and transcriptional activation domain, and is an active repressor of transcription. The activity of E2F6 is mediated through its recruitment of polycomb transcriptional repressor complexes in a histone methylation independent manner. E2F6 associates with E2F target genes that are activated at G1/S phase. Its repression activity during the S-phase distinguishes G1/S and G2/M transcription during cell cycle. It may be involved in various cancerous processes.
Physical form

Decreased transcription of the BRCA1 gene has previously been observed to occur in sporadic breast tumours, making elucidation of the mechanisms regulating the expression of this gene important for our understanding of the etiology of the disease. Transcriptional elements involved

The E2F transcription factors are critical regulators of genes required for appropriate progression through the cell cycle, and in special circumstances they can also promote the expression of another class of genes that function in the apoptotic program. Since E2Fs

The E2F family of proteins is required to establish the correct cell-cycle-dependent transcription of genes that direct the process of cell division. All previously identified E2F proteins can act in a similar manner; depending on whether or not they are
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 98(4), 1519-1524 (2001-02-15)
The E2F transcription factors play a key role in the regulation of cellular proliferation and terminal differentiation. E2F6 is the most recently identified and the least well understood member of the E2F family. It is only distantly related to the
E2F transcription factors play a critical role in the control of cell cycle progression, regulating the expression of genes involved in DNA replication, DNA repair, mitosis, and cell fate. This involves both positive-acting and negative-acting E2F proteins, the latter group
