Anti-Zinc finger protein 350 (ZBRK1, ZNF350, KRAB zinc finger protein ZFQR, ZFQR, Zinc finger and BR

ZBRK1 is a member of the Kruppel-associated box-zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) protein family of transcriptional repressors. ZBRK1 has been shown to not only be up-regulated in senescent fibroblasts but also interacts with BRCA1, a transcriptional regulator with tumor suppressor activity. ZBRK1 binds to a specific sequence within the GADD45 gene, supporting the assembly of a nuclear complex containing BRCA1 and repressing its transcription. Recent experiments demonstrate that ZBRK1 can homo-oligomerize in vitro and in vivo through a C-terminal transcriptional repression domain (CTRD), and this oligomerization facilitates the ZBRK1-directed transcriptional repression through ZBRK1 response elements. These results suggest that higher order ZBRK1 oligomers may assemble through both protein-DNA and CTRD-dependent protein-protein interactions. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: A20 Cell Lysate, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
