The gene SMARCC2 (SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily C member 2) is mapped to human chromosome 12q13.2. SMARCC2 is commonly referred to as BAF170 (BRG1-associated factor 170).
Synonyms: Anti-BRG1-associated factor 170; Anti-SWI/SNF complex 170 kDa subunit; Anti-SWI/SNF complex subunit SMARCC2; Anti-SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily C member 2
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-SMARCC2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable) chromatin-remodeling complexes are important for binding of transcription factors to nucleosomal DNA. SMARCC2 (SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily C member 2) is a core subunit of SWI/SNF. It is suggested that SMARCC2 is required for interaction of SWI/SNF complex with zinc finger DNA-binding domain structures, thereby bringing the complex to nucleosomal sites. SMARCC2 and BAF155 (BRG1-associated factor 155) regulate the protein levels of BAF57 and also support the stoichiometry of the SWI/SNF complex. SMARCC2 is up-regulated in HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-1 infected cells. Absence of SMARCC2 inhibits viral activation in promyelocytic cells.
