NFYA is a nuclear transcription factor that forms a regulatory subunit of the trimeric complex of NF-Y that associates with CCAAT motifs in cell cycle progression genes. Hence, this gene has been implicated in cell proliferation. Furthermore, NFYA can also facilitate the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Rabbit Anti-NFYA antibody recognizes canine, chicken, human, mouse, rat, and bovine NFYA.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human NFYA
Application
Rabbit Anti-NFYA antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (4-8μg/ml using paraffin-embedded tissues) and western blot (5-8μg/ml) applications.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NFYA is one subunit of a trimeric complex, forming a highly conserved transcription factor that binds to CCAAT motifs in the promoter regions in a variety of genes. Subunit A associates with a tight dimer composed of the B and C subunits, resulting in a trimer that binds to DNA with high specificity and affinity. The sequence specific interactions of the complex are made by the A subunit, suggesting a role as the regulatory subunit. In addition, there is evidence of post-transcriptional regulation in this gene product, either by protein degradation or control of translation. Further regulation is represented by alternative splicing in the glutamine-rich activation domain, with clear tissue-specific preferences for the two isoforms.

NF-Y binds to CCAAT motifs in the promoter region of a variety of genes involved in cell cycle progression. The NF-Y complex comprises three subunits, NF-YA, -YB, and -YC, all required for DNA binding. Expression of NF-YA fluctuates during the

Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and differentiation are influenced through multiple pathways, including homeobox transcription factors, signaling through beta-catenin and Notch-1, telomerase, and p27. How these multiple pathways interact and are orchestrated is currently unknown. We now report that NF-Ya
