General description

Anti-BLZF1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total BLZF1 protein.
The gene BLZF1 (basic leucine zipper nuclear factor 1) is mapped to human chromosome 1q24. It belongs to the b-ZIP family of proteins. The encoded protein has a PEST (proline [P], glutamic acid [E], serine [S], and threonine [T]) motif, a putative leucine repeat and several phosphorylation sites. This protein is present in the nucleus, cytoplasm and Golgi apparatus.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human BLZF1.

Immunogen Range: 10-59

Biochem/physiol Actions

BLZF1 (basic leucine zipper nuclear factor 1) might work as a transcription factor. It is involved in epigenetic regulation by binding to DNMT3L (DNA methyltransferase 3 like) and also participates in Wnt/β-catenin signaling. The BLZF1 gene is downregulated in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line NB4. On the other hand, it is upregulated in presence of dengue virus infection. BLZF1 also interacts with GRASP55 (the medial-Golgi matrix protein) and the GTP form of rab2. It is involved in the secretory protein transport and maintenance of the Golgi structure. This gene is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma. This low expression is associated with poor overall survival.
