Anti-BMI1 (Oncogene and Stem Cell Marker), clone BMI1/2689

Formulation: Purified Ab with BSA and Azide at 200ug/ml. Cellular Localization: Cytoplasm, Nucleus. Positive Control: 293T, HeLa or Jurkat cells. Colon Carcinoma., NIH3T3. Chromosome Location: 10p12.2.3. Protein Function: Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones. it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed:15386022, PubMed:16359901, PubMed:16714294, PubMed:21772249, PubMed:25355358, PubMed:26151332, PubMed:27827373). The complex composed of RNF2, UB2D3 and BMI1 binds nucleosomes, and has activity only with nucleosomal histone H2A (PubMed:21772249, PubMed:25355358). In the PRC1-like complex, regulates the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of RNF2/RING2 (PubMed:15386022, PubMed:21772249, PubMed:26151332) [The Uniprot Consortium]
