General description
BANF1 Antibody: Barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 (BANF1) is a conserved chromatin protein that non-specifically binds double-stranded DNA. BANF1 also interacts with a family of nuclear proteins that include LAP2, emerin, and MAN1. It is also a host cell component of retroviral pre-integration complexes (PICs), including that of HIV. BANF1 will bind to p55 Gag (the structural precursor of HIV-1 virions) as well as its cleaved product matrix. In addition to being a host cell component of the PIC, it is thought that BANF1 is also present at low levels in incoming virions, and thus might contribute to the assembly or activity of HIV-1 PICs through direct binding to matrix as well as DNA.
Immunogen
Anti-BANF1 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human BANF1. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of BANF1.
Application
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.
Physical form
Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
