BORIS (CTCFL) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

CAT#: TA319419

Rabbit polyclonal anti-BORIS antibody

Product Images

Western blot using Affinity Purified anti-BORIS antibody shows detection of a predominant band corresponding to BORIS in human tissue lysates (arrowhead). Lane 1 contains lysate from human prostate tissue. Lane 2 contains lysate from human spleen tissue. A predominant band at ~75 kDa is observed. Molecular weight estimation was made by comparison to prestained MW markers as indicated.

• Note: This antibody is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. BORIS (Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites) also known as CCCTC-binding factor-like protein, is normally only expressed in the testis and expressed in a mutually exclusive manner with CTCF during male germ cell development. However, previous studies have shown that BORIS is abnormally activated in a wide range of human cancers. Expression of BORIS in normally BORIS-negative cells promotes cell growth that may lead to transformation. BORIS maps to the cancer-associated amplification region thought to contain an oncogene or dominant-immortalizing gene. BORIS is a candidate protein for the epigenetic reprogramming factor acting in the male germ line. BORIS is found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm.
