Rabbit anti-Human NAP1L1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P55209

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NAP1L1

Target Full Name

Nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 1

Target Function

Histone chaperone that plays a role in the nuclear import of H2A-H2B and nucleosome assembly. Participates also in several important DNA repair mechanisms: greatly enhances ERCC6-mediated chromatin remodeling which is essential for transcription-coupled nucleotide excision DNA repair. Stimulates also homologous recombination (HR) by RAD51 and RAD54 which is essential in mitotic DNA double strand break (DSB) repair. Plays a key role in the regulation of embryonic neurogenesis. Promotes the proliferation of neural progenitors and inhibits neuronal differentiation during cortical development. Regulates neurogenesis via the modulation of RASSF10; regulates RASSF10 expression by promoting SETD1A-mediated H3K4 methylation at the RASSF10 promoter.; (Microbial infection) Positively regulates Epstein-Barr virus reactivation in epithelial cells through the induction of viral BZLF1 expression.; (Microbial infection) Together with human herpesvirus 8 protein LANA1, assists the proper assembly of the nucleosome on the replicated viral DNA.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) family. This protein participates in DNA replication and may play a role in modulating chromatin formation and contribute to the regulation of cell proliferation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms; however, not all have been fully described.
