Gene Information

human ... BRF2(55290)

General description

The gene BRF2 (b-related factor 2) is mapped to human chromosome 8p11.23.

Immunogen

Transcription factor IIIB 50 kDa subunit recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene BRF2 (b-related factor 2) encodes a member of the TFIIB (transcription factor IIB) family that forms a subunit of TFIIIB initiation factor, a factor required for accurate transcription by RNA polymerase III. RNA pol III is necessary for the transcription of small, untranslated RNAs, such as U6 snRNA and tRNAs. It acts as an oncogene, with increased expression observed in squamous cell carcinomas of the lung and can serve as a biomarker and a potential therapeutic target in several cancers. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes regulate BRF2-TFIIIB mediated transcription.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
