PHF10 Monoclonal antibody

PHF10, also named as BRG1-associated factor 45a, is a 498 amino acid protein, which locate in the nucleus and Belongs to the SAYP family. PHF10 Involve in transcription activity regulation by chromatin remodeling. It Belongs to the neural progenitors-specific chromatin remodeling complex (npBAF complex) and is required for the proliferation of neural progenitors. During neural development a switch from a stem/progenitor to a post-mitotic chromatin remodeling mechanism occurs as neurons exit the cell cycle and become committed to their adult state. The transition from proliferating neural stem/progenitor cells to post-mitotic neurons requires a switch in subunit composition of the npBAF and nBAF complexes. As neural progenitors exit mitosis and differentiate into neurons, npBAF complexes which contain ACTL6A/BAF53A and PHF10/BAF45A, are exchanged for homologous alternative ACTL6B/BAF53B and DPF1/BAF45B or DPF3/BAF45C subunits in neuron-specific complexes (nBAF). The npBAF complex is essential for the self-renewal/proliferative capacity of the multipotent neural stem cells. The nBAF complex along with CREST plays a role regulating the activity of genes essential for dendrite growth. PHF10 exists as several isoform and the calculated molecular weight of each isoform is 42 kDa, 37 kDa, 51 kDa, and 56 kDa.
