Anti-Zebrafish Eed / Embryonic ectoderm development protein

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Polycomb protein EED is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EED gene. It is a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes, which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This protein interacts with enhancer of zeste 2, the cytoplasmic tail of integrin beta-7, immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) MA protein, and histone deacetylase proteins. Furthermore, this protein mediates repression of gene activity through histone deacetylation, and may act as a specific regulator of integrin function. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Protein function: Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Component of the prc2/eed-ezh2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. [The UniProt Consortium]
