MyBioSource.com's AIRE Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Immunofluorescence, and Western Blot. The AIRE Antibody was generated using AIRE, and Autoimmune Regulator as the antigen and it reacts with Homo Sapiens, Human, and Mouse.
Description
Transcriptional regulator that binds to DNA as a dimer or as a tetramer, but not as a monomer. Binds to G-doublets in an A/T-rich environment; the preferred motif is a tandem repeat of 5'-. ATTGGTTA-3' combined with a 5'-TTATTA-3' box. Binds to nucleosomes By similarity. Binds to chromatin and interacts selectively with histone H3 that is not methylated at 'Lys-4', not phosphorylated at 'Thr-3' and not methylated at 'Arg-2'. Functions as a sensor of histone H3 modifications that are important for the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Functions as a transcriptional activator and promotes the expression of otherwise tissue-specific self-antigens in the thymus, which is important for self tolerance and the avoidance of autoimmune reactions
