- Extra Details:
- YY1-associated factor 2 is a protein interacts with YY1, a zinc finger protein involved in negative regulation of muscle-restricted genes. This gene product itself contains a single N-terminal C2-X10-C2 zinc finger, and in contrast to YY1, is up-regulated during myogenic differentiation. It also facilitates proteolytic cleavage of YY1 by the calcium- activated protease, m-calpain, suggesting a mechanism by which this protein antagonizes the negative effect of YY1. YAF2 mRNA increased during the in vitro differentiation of rat skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, in contrast to the downregulation of YY1. Overexpression of YAF2 in mouse myoblast cells stimulated myogenic promoter activity. Cotransfection and expression of YY1 in these cells reversed the stimulatory effect of YAF2. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunofluorescence/Immunocytochemistry: 1:50-500 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
