Gene Information

human ... CBX8(57332)

General description

CBX8 is a polycomb group protein that associates with other proteins such as TIP60 and MLL-AF9. CBX8 also forms a part of the PRC1 complexes. It regulates fibroblast proliferation and cell survival. Furthermore, studies have reported that CBX8 is needed for MLL-AF9-induced transcription and leukemogenesis.
Rabbit Anti-CBX8 (AB1) antibody recognizes bovine, human, mouse, rat, and canine CBX8.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human CBX8

Application

Rabbit Anti-CBX8 (AB1) antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.25 μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CBX8 is one of the proteins homolog to the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. They assemble to form large multiprotein complexes involved in gene silencing. Evidence suggests that PcG complexes are heterogeneous with respect to both protein composition and specific function.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: QCGVTSPSSAEATGKLAVDTFPARVIKHRAAFLEAKGQGALDPNGTRVRH

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Chromosomal translocations involving the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene lead to the development of acute leukemias. Constitutive HOX gene activation by MLL fusion proteins is required for MLL-mediated leukemogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that chromobox

The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are essential for embryogenesis, and their expression is often found deregulated in human cancer. The PcGs form two major protein complexes, called polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) whose function is to
