Anti-BRD7 antibody, Rat monoclonal

Monoclonal Anti-BRD7 (rat IgG2a isotype) is derived from the hybridoma BRM 2D3 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (P3X63Ag8.653) and splenocytes from rat immunized with a fusion protein expressing a fragment of human BRD7. Bromodomain containing (BRD7) is a novel bromodomain gene.

Monoclonal Anti-BRD7 antibody produced in rat has been used in several immunochemical techniques including

• immunoblotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immunocytochemistry

Bromodomain containing (BRD7) inhibits cell growth and cell cycle progression by transcriptional regulation of some cell cycle-related genes as well as some important molecules involved in ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase(MEK)/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB)/ E2 factor (E2F) pathways. Its transcriptional down regulation has been shown to be critical to the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Specifically, DNA methylation decreases the expression of BRD7 in NPC cells. Furthermore, DNA methylation of BRD7 promoter is increased in the tumor and in matched blood samples from NPC patients than in blood samples from healthy individuals. Therefore, it has been suggested that DNA methylation of BRD7 promoter might act as a potential diagnostic marker in NPC.
