Monoclonal anti-e2f-6

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-E2F6 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for immunocytochemistry and indirect ELISA. It is also suitable for western blotting at a working concentration of 2-4µg/mL using HeLa nuclear cell extract.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The third class of E2Fs lacks both the retinoblastoma protein binding and transcriptional activation domain, and is an active repressor of transcription. The activity of E2F6 is mediated through its recruitment of polycomb transcriptional repressor complexes in a histone methylation independent manner. E2F6 associates with E2F target genes that are activated at G1/S phase. Its repression activity during the S-phase distinguishes G1/S and G2/M transcription during cell cycle. It may be involved in various cancerous processes.

General description

E2F6 transcription factor belongs to the third class of E2Fs. The E2F transcription factors are a family of genes that play critical roles in regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation.
