Anti-PROL5

The Uses of Anti-PROL5

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

General Description

PBRM1 (polybromo 1) codes for BAF180 protein. It is a subunit of the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex called SWI/SNF (SWItch/sucrose nonfermentable).

Biochem/physiol Actions

PBRM1 (polybromo 1) can block cancer cell proliferation and predict the outcome of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It is essential for cohesion and inhibition of genomic instability. PBRM1 participates in DNA double-strand break-induced transcriptional silencing. It acts as a transcriptional regulator of p21 at the time of tumorigenesis in breast cancer. PBRM1 is essential for p53-induced replicative senescence.
