Application

Anti-ZBTB16 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:immunoblottingimmunohistochemistryimmunocytochemistry

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PLZF/ZBTB16 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16) functions as a transcriptional repressor of POK (POZ and Krüppel) family of proteins. The POZ/BTB domain is involved in the interaction with transcriptional co-repressors functioning in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional silencing. The Krüppel-type zinc fingers specifically bind specifically to the response elements in regulatory regions of genes repressed by this protein. The protein is involved in skeletal patterning and spermatogonial stem cell maintenance. It may be involved in tumor suppression in melanoma and prostate cancer as it induces apoptosis in certain cell types. Defects in this gene have been associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

General description

ZBTB16 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16) gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that belongs to the Krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. It contains nine C-terminal Kruppel-type zinc finger domains and one BTB (Broad complex, Tramtrack, and Bric à brac)/POZ (poxviruses and zinc finger and Krüppel) domain at the N-terminus. The gene is mapped to chromosome 11q22–q23 with seven exons spanning a length of approximately 200kb.
