Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H, M

Specificity: This APOBEC3B antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 299-330 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human APOBEC3B.

Cellular Localisation: Nucleus

Molecular Weight: 45924

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: APOBEC3B

Gene ID: 9582

Function: DNA deaminase (cytidine deaminase) which acts as an inhibitor of retrovirus replication and retrotransposon mobility via deaminase- dependent and -independent mechanisms. After the penetration of retroviral nucleocapsids into target cells of infection and the initiation of reverse transcription, it can induce the conversion of cytosine to uracil in the minus-sense single-strand viral DNA, leading to G-to-A hypermutations in the subsequent plus-strand viral DNA. The resultant detrimental levels of mutations in the proviral genome, along with a deamination-independent mechanism that works prior to the proviral integration, together exert efficient antiretroviral effects in infected target cells. Selectively targets single-stranded DNA and does not deaminate double-stranded DNA or single- or double-stranded RNA. Exhibits antiviral activity against simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and may inhibit the mobility of LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons.

Summary: Tissue Location: Expressed at high and moderate levels in peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, testes, heart, thymus, prostate and ovary Also expressed at low levels in several other tissues
