The gene ZNF521 (zinc finger protein 521) is mapped to human chromosome 18q11.2. The protein has 30 zinc fingers and an amino terminal motif. The amino terminal motif associates with the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex. ZNF521 is present in the hematopoietic system, mainly in stem and progenitor cells. Additionally, it is highly expressed in brain and neural stem cells.
Synonyms: Anti-Early hematopoietic zinc finger protein; Anti-LYST-interacting protein 3; Anti-Zinc finger protein 521
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-ZNF521 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: ZNF521 (zinc finger protein 521) is a transcriptional co-factor. It controls maintenance of the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell compartment. It is also linked with clonogenic growth and tumorigenicity of medulloblastoma cells.
