UHRF1 monoclonal antibody Background :
Ubiquitin-like PHD and RING finger domain-containing protein 1 (UHRF1), also known as Inverted CCAAT box-binding protein of 90 kDa (ICBP90) and Nuclear Zinc Finger Protein NP95 (NP95), is a nuclear protein that was first discovered as a CCAAT box-binding protein that regulates the expression of the Topoisomerase IIα and Rb1 genes. Later studies have shown that UHRF1 is required for maintenance of CpG DNA methylation, the process of copying pre-existing methylation patterns onto the newly synthesized DNA strand after DNA replication . UHRF1 localizes primarily with highly methylated pericentromeric heterochromatin and is required for proper structure and function of these regions of the genome. However, UHRF1 also localizes to euchromatic regions of the genome and functions to negatively regulate the expression of a subset of tumor suppressor genes. The localization and repressive functions of UHRF1 are both mediated by several protein domains, including a ubiquitin-like domain (UBQ), Tudor domain, PHD domain, SET and RING finger-associated (SRA) domain, and a RING finger domain. The SRA domain of UHRF1 binds with high affinity to hemi-methylated DNA and functions to properly target the associated maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 protein to mediate faithful methylation of the newly synthesized DNA strand . Additional targeting of UHRF1 to heterochromatin is mediated by the Tudor domain, which binds specifically to tri-methylated lysine 9 of histone H3, a histone mark associated with pericentromeric heterochromatin. Targeting of UHRF1 to euchromatin is further mediated by the PHD domain, which binds specifically to un-methylated arginine 2 of histone H3, which is commonly associated with euchromatin . In addition to recruiting DNMT1, UHRF1 recruits the histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) protein to target loci, resulting in deacetylation of histones, and providing an additional mechanism for transcriptional repression. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that UHRF1 functions to link DNA methylation and histone modifications to the maintenance of repressive chromatin structures. These functions of UHRF1 are important for proper maintenance of cell growth and proliferation, as research studies have shown UHRF1 over-expression in a number of cancers (breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer) is associated with increased proliferation and malignancy.

Bioworld Biotech only provide peptides for our antibodies and do not provide additional peptide customization services.
Price/Size :
USD 368/1mg/vial
Tips:
For phospho antibody, we provide phospho peptide（0.5mg) and non-phospho peptide(0.5mg).Describe :
Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.Formula:
Synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml DI water for a final concentration of 10 mg/ml.The purity is >90%,tested by HPLC and MS.
Storage:
The freeze-dried powder is more stable. For short time at 2-8°C. For long term storage store at -20°C.
