This tumor suppressor gene is a member of a nuclear histone/protein methyltransferase superfamily. It encodes a zinc finger protein that can bind to retinoblastoma protein, estrogen receptor, and the TPA-responsive element (MTE) of the heme-oxygenase-1 gene. Although the functions of this protein have not been fully characterized, it may (1) play a role in transcriptional regulation during neuronal differentiation and pathogenesis of retinoblastoma, (2) act as a transcriptional activator of the heme-oxygenase-1 gene, and (3) be a specific effector of estrogen action. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and ChIP. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blot: 1:1,000 ChIP: 1:100 Optimal dilution to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
Purified recombinant GST fusion protein encoding aa 1-347 of human RIZ1
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2, 0.09% sodium azide
Purity
Purified by Protein G affinity chromatography
Specificity
Recognizes human and mouse PRDM2 (RIZ1). This antibody is specific RIZ1; it does not recognize the R1Z2 isoform.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
