Anti-ASF1A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 204 amino acid residues and a mass of 23 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. A member of the ASF1 protein family, ASF1A is reported to be a histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include CIA, HSPC146, histone chaperone ASF1A, ASF1 anti-silencing function 1 homolog A, CCG1-interacting factor A, and CGI-98. ASF1A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. A number of ASF1A antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
