Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-WSTF [WSTF]
  • Clone: WSTF
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
  • Class: Polyclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human ; Mouse
  • Host: Rabbit
  • Cancer type: Breast cancer
  • Molecular weight of the target: 170 kDa
  • Application: IF ; IP ; WB
  • Description: The human Williams Syndrome Transcription Factor (WSTF) gene is located within the common Williams Syndrome deletion area at chromosome 7q11.23. Its functional motifs include a PHD zinc finger motif followed by a bromodomain. Both motifs are found in many transcription factors, suggesting that WSTF may function as a transcription factor. WSTF forms a chromatinremodelling complex that mobilizes nucleosomes and reconfigures irregular chromatin to a regular nucleosomal array structure. The drosophila Acf1 gene is structurally related to the human WSTF gene.
  • Immunogen: Peptide coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
  • Research area: Genetics

  • Target background: The human Williams Syndrome Transcription Factor (WSTF) gene is located within the common Williams Syndrome deletion area at chromosome 7q11.23. Its Fn motifs include a PHD zinc finger motif followed by a bromodomain. Both motifs are found in many transcription factors, suggesting that WSTF may function as a transcription factor. WSTF forms a chromatinremodelling complex that mobilizes nucleosomes and reconfigures irregular chromatin to a regular nucleosomal array structure. The drosophila Acf1 gene is structurally related to the human WSTF gene.
