RABBIT ANTI RFX1

Rabbit anti Human RFX1 antibody recognizes RFX1, also known as enhancer factor C, regulatory factor X1, trans-acting regulatory factor 1 or simply transcription factor RFX1.

The RFX1 gene is a member of the regulatory factor X family which encodes transcription factors that contain a highly-conserved winged helix DNA binding domain. The protein encoded by the RFX1 gene is structurally related to regulatory factors X2, X3, X4, and X5. It is a transcriptional activator that can bind DNA as a monomer or as a heterodimer with RFX family members X2, X3, and X5, but not with X4. This protein binds to the X-boxes of MHC class II genes and is essential for their expression. Also, it can bind to an inverted repeat that is required for expression of hepatitis B virus genes (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human RFX1 antibody detects a band of 140 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
