Merck, SAB4200843-25UL, Anti-BCOR antibody, Mouse monoclonal

General description
BCOR encodes a ubiquitously expressed protein which is involved in BCL6-mediated transcriptional repression.1 Originally it was identified as a novel BCL6 corepressor via its interaction with the site-specific DNA-binding transcription factor BCL6, whose aberrant expression drives formation of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.
Application
The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including Immunoblotting (∼190 kDa) and Immunofluorescence.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Monoclonal Anti-BCOR antibody specifically recognizes human BCOR protein.
NCOR and SMRT, was recently demonstrated to occupy the majority of its DNA binding sites independently from BCL6, reflecting its multiple interaction partners. BCOR also forms a Polycomb repressor complex 1 (PRC1)-like complex with PCGF1, KDM2B, RING1, SKP1, RYBP, and RNF2, and can bind to both class I and II histone deacetylases.1 BCOR is specifically and strongly expressed during embryonic development where it plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation, as BCOR mutations are associated with the X-linked inherited diseases Lenz microphthalmia and Oculofaciocardiodental syndrome (OFCD).
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.
Preparation Note
For continuous use, store at 2-8°C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
