General description

Anti-BMI1 (C-terminal) is produced in rabbit using as the immunogen a synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminal of human BMI1, conjugated to KLH. The human proto-oncogene BMI1 (also known as polycomb complex protein BMI-1, polycomb group RING finger protein 4, and RING finger protein 51) is a member of the mammalian Polycomb group (Pc-G) genes.

Application

Anti-BMI1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • western blotting
  • immunoprecipitation
  • immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

BMI1 (Proto-Oncogene, Polycomb Ring Finger) plays an important role as epigenetic gene silencers during development. Elevated expression of BMI1 is associated with many cancers such as mantle cell lymphoma, B-cell non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma, myeloid leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer. BMI1 has been shown to be also required for self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells and neuronal stem cells. BMI1 knockout in mice results in defects in hematopoiesis, skeletal patterning and neurological functions.

Physical form
