Anti-FAM60A / SINHCAF

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. FAM60A, also known as Protein FAM60A, Tera protein homolog and SIN3-HDAC complex-associated factor (SINHCAF), is a subunit of the Sin3 deacetylase complex (Sin3/HDAC) that is important for the repression of genes. The SIN3A-HDAC complex deacetylates histones thereby repressing gene transcription. FAM60A specifically impacts genes encoding components of the TGF-beta signaling pathway and promoters of important proteins like cyclin D1. FAM60A activity peaks during G1 and S phases of the cell cycle and is up regulated in many carcinoma and tumor tissues. Additionally, loss of FAM60A leads to a change in cell morphology, an increase in cell migration, increased histone acetylation at the cyclin D1 promoter and elevated levels of cyclin D1 mRNA and protein. Furthermore, depletion of FAM60A altered the periodic association of HDAC1 with the cyclin D1 promoter, increased cyclin D1 expression at all cell cycle phases, and caused premature S phase entry. Protein function: Subunit of the Sin3 deacetylase complex (Sin3/HDAC), this subunit is important for the repression of genes encoding components of the TGF-beta signaling pathway (PubMed:22865885, PubMed:22984288). Core component of a SIN3A complex (composed of at least SINHCAF, SIN3A, HDAC1, SAP30, RBBP4, OGT and TET1) present in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Promotes the stability of SIN3A and its presence on chromatin and is essential for maintaining the potential of ES cells to proliferate rapidly, while ensuring a short G1-phase of the cell cycle, thereby preventing premature lineage priming.
