Rabbit anti-Human NFYC Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q13952

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NFYC

Target Full Name

Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit gamma

Target Function

Component of the sequence-specific heterotrimeric transcription factor (NF-Y) which specifically recognizes a 5'-CCAAT-3' box motif found in the promoters of its target genes. NF-Y can function as both an activator and a repressor, depending on its interacting cofactors.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

NFYC/HAP5 subunit family

Target Background

This gene encodes one subunit of a trimeric complex forming a highly conserved transcription factor that binds with high specificity to CCAAT motifs in the promoters of a variety of genes. The encoded protein, subunit C, forms a tight dimer with the B subunit, a prerequisite for subunit A association. The resulting trimer binds to DNA with high specificity and affinity. Subunits B and C each contain a histone-like motif. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
