Rabbit Anti-Ctip1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a C2H2 type zinc-finger protein by its similarity to the mouse Bcl11a/Evi9 protein. The corresponding mouse gene is a common site of retroviral integration in myeloid leukemia, and may function as a leukemia disease gene, in part, through its interaction with BCL6. During hematopoietic cell differentiation, this gene is down-regulated. It is possibly involved in lymphoma pathogenesis since translocations associated with B-cell malignancies also deregulates its expression. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Function:
Functions as a myeloid and B-cell proto-oncogene. May play important roles in leukemogenesis and hematopoiesis. An essential factor in lymphopoiesis, is required for B-cell formation in fetal liver. May function as a modulator of the transcriptional repression activity of ARP1.
Subunit:
Interacts with TFCOUP1, PIAS3, ARP1 and EAR2
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Associates with the nuclear body. Colocalizes with SUMO1 and SENP2 in nuclear speckles.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed at high levels in brain, spleen thymus, bone marrow and testis. Expressed in CD34-positive myeloid precursor cells, B-cells, monocytes and megakaryocytes. Expression is tightly regulated during B-cell development.
Post-translational modifications:
Sumoylated by SUMO1.
DISEASE:
Note=Chromosomal aberrations involving BCL11A may be a cause of lymphoid malignancies. Translocation t(2;14)(p13;q32.3) causes BCL11A deregulation and amplification.
Similarity:
Contains 6 C2H2-type zinc fingers.
