General description

Williams syndrome transcription factor (WSTF) belongs to the WAL/BAZ/WAC protein family, encoded by the bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain 1B (BAZ1B) gene. It is a non-secretory protein, which consists of a C-terminal bromodomain adjacent to a PHD (plant homeodomain) finger.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1467-1483 of human WSTF, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added cysteine residue. The corresponding rat and mouse sequence differ from the immunizing sequence by three amino acids.

Application

Anti-WSTF (C-Terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunofluorescence.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Williams syndrome transcription factor (WSTF) is implicated in transcription, replication, chromatin remodeling and DNA damage response. It acts as a tyrosine protein kinase. Mutations in this gene are associated with Williams-Beuren syndrome. WSTF might function as an activator of gene expression of cytochrome P450 family 21 subfamily A member 2 (CYP21A2) and CYP19A1.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, and 15 mM sodium azide.
