Molecular Weight: Predicted: 10kD
Observed: 12 kD
Despite its predicted molecular weight, BANF1 often migrates at a higher size in SDS-PAGE.

Validation:

Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 1) shows similar BANF1 expression profile in human and mouse cell lines detected by two independent anti-BANF1 antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 4017 against C-terminus domain and 4019 against N-terminus domain. BANF1 proteins are detected in the most tested cell lines at different expression levels by the two independent antibodies.

Isoform: Human BANF1 has one isoform (89aa, 10kD) . Mouse BANF1 has one isoform (89aa, 10kD) and Rat BANF1 also has one isoform (89aa, 10kD) . 4019 can detect human, mouse and rat.

User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher.

BACKGROUND: BANF1 Antibody: Barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 (BANF1) is a conserved chromatin protein that non-specifically binds double-stranded DNA. BAF also interacts with a family of nuclear proteins that include LAP2, emerin, and MAN1. It is also a host cell component of retroviral pre-integration complexes (PICs) , including that of HIV. BAF will bind to p55 Gag (the structural precursor of HIV-1 virions) as well as its cleaved product matrix. In addition to being a host cell component of the PIC, it is thought that BAF is also present at low levels in incoming virions, and thus might contribute to the assembly or activity of HIV-1 PICs through direct binding to matrix as well as DNA.
