Rabbit Anti-BRD1 (Bromodomain Containing Protein 1, BRL, BRPF2, BR140-like protein, Bromodomain and PHD finger-containing protein 2)
The MLL is reciprocally translocated with 1 of a number of different partner genes in human acute leukemias. The precise mechanism of oncogenic transformation is unclear since most of the partner genes encode unrelated proteins. However, 2 partner genes, AF10 and AF17, are related through the presence of a cysteine-rich region and a leucine zipper. Overall, the protein was most closely related to the BR140 protein, and was therefore designated BRL (BR140-like gene). Northern blot analysis revealed that a 4.6-kb BRL transcript is expressed at high levels in testis and in several cell lines. A monoclonal antibody raised to a BRL peptide sequence confirmed its widespread expression as a 120kD protein and demonstrated localization to the nucleus of spermatocytes.
