Rabbit anti-Human BACH1 Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O14867

Target Species

Human

Target Name

BACH1

Target Full Name

Transcription regulator protein BACH1

Target Function

Transcriptional regulator that acts as repressor or activator, depending on the context. Binds to NF-E2 DNA binding sites. Plays important roles in coordinating transcription activation and repression by MAFK. Together with MAF, represses the transcription of genes under the control of the NFE2L2 oxidative stress pathway.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

BZIP family, CNC subfamily

Target Synonyms

BACH 1; BACH 1.3; Bach1; BACH1_HUMAN; Basic leucine zipper transcription factor 1; basic region leucine zipper transcriptional regulator BACH1; BTB and CNC homolog 1; BTB and CNC homology 1; BTB and CNC homology 1; basic leucine zipper transcription factor 1; HA2303; OTTHUMP00000096563; OTTHUMP00000096564; Transcription regulator protein BACH1

Target Background

This gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the cap'n'collar type of basic region leucine zipper factor family (CNC-bZip). The encoded protein contains broad complex, tramtrack, bric-a-brac/poxvirus and zinc finger (BTB/POZ) domains, which is atypical of CNC-bZip family members. These BTB/POZ domains facilitate protein-protein interactions and formation of homo- and/or hetero-oligomers. When this encoded protein forms a heterodimer with MafK, it functions as a repressor of Maf recognition element (MARE) and transcription is repressed. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.
