Rabbit anti-Human Lsh/HELLS Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NRZ9

Target Species

Human

Target Name

HELLS

Target Full Name

Lymphoid-specific helicase

Target Function

Plays an essential role in normal development and survival. Involved in regulation of the expansion or survival of lymphoid cells. Required for de novo or maintenance DNA methylation. May control silencing of the imprinted CDKN1C gene through DNA methylation. May play a role in formation and organization of heterochromatin, implying a functional role in the regulation of transcription and mitosis.

Target Involvement

Immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 4 (ICF4)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

SNF2/RAD54 helicase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in proliferative tissues such as adult thymus and testis, and expressed at lower levels in uterus, small intestine, colon, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Also expressed in neoplastic cell lines including those derived from myeloi

Target Background

This gene encodes a lymphoid-specific helicase. Other helicases function in processes involving DNA strand separation, including replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. This protein is thought to be involved with cellular proliferation and may play a role in leukemogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
