Recombinant Human Nucleosome-remodeling factor subunit BPTF (BPTF), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q12830

Target Species

Human

Target Name

BPTF

Target Full Name

Nucleosome-remodeling factor subunit BPTF

Target Function

Regulatory subunit of the ATP-dependent NURF-1 and NURF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complexes, which form ordered nucleosome arrays on chromatin and facilitate access to DNA during DNA-templated processes such as DNA replication, transcription, and repair. The NURF-1 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex has a lower ATP hydrolysis rate than the NURF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex. Within the NURF-1 ISWI chromatin-remodeling complex, binds to the promoters of En1 and En2 to positively regulate their expression and promote brain development. Histone-binding protein which binds to H3 tails trimethylated on 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3), which mark transcription start sites of active genes. Binds to histone H3 tails dimethylated on 'Lys-4' (H3K4Me2) to a lesser extent. May also regulate transcription through direct binding to DNA or transcription factors

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=In brains of Alzheimer disease patients, present in a subset of amyloid-containing plaques.

Target Protein Families

PBTF family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in testis. Present in kidney, liver and brain. In the brain, highest levels are found in motor cortex (at protein level).
