CoraLite®488-conjugated YY1 Monoclonal antibody

YY1, also named as DELTA, INO80S and NF-E1, contains four C2H2-type zinc fingers and belongs to the YY transcription factor family. YY1 is a multifunctional transcription factor that exhibits positive and negative control on a large number of cellular and viral genes by binding to sites overlapping the transcription start site. YY1 may direct histone deacetylases and histone acetyltransferases to a promoter in order to activate or repress the promoter, thus implicating histone modification in the YY1. The open reading frame of the human YY1 cDNA encodes a protein of 414 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 44 kDa. However, YY1 migrates on SDS gels as a 65-68 kDa protein, probably due to the structure of the protein. It is a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor with fundamental roles in embryogenesis, differentiation, replication and proliferation. The antibody is conjugated with CL488, Ex/Em 488 nm/515 nm.
