RABBIT ANTI CBFA2T2

Rabbit anti Human CBFA2T2 antibody recognizes CBFA2T2, also known as core-binding factor runt domain alpha subunit 2 translocated to 2, ETO homolog on chromosome 20, MTG8-related protein 1 and myeloid translocation gene-related protein 1.

In acute myeloid leukemia, especially in the M2 subtype, the t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation is one of the most frequent karyotypic abnormalities. The translocation produces a chimeric gene made up of the 5'-region of the RUNX1 (AML1) gene fused to the 3'-region of the CBFA2T1 (MTG8) gene. The chimeric protein is thought to associate with the nuclear corepressor/histone deacetylase complex to block hematopoietic differentiation. The protein encoded by the CBFA2T2 gene binds to the AML1-MTG8 complex and may be important in promoting leukemogenesis. Several transcript variants are thought to exist for CBFA2T2, but the full-length natures of only three have been described (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human CBFA2T2 antibody detects a band of 67 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
