Gene Information

human ... YY1(7528)

General description

The gene YY1 (Yin Yang 1) encodes a protein belonging to the GLI-Krüppel gene family. It is a zinc finger protein that is ubiquitously expressed. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 14q32.

Immunogen

Transcriptional repressor protein YY1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-YY1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions

YY1 (Yin Yang 1) is a transcriptional repressor protein encoded by the YY1 gene in humans. It regulates diverse biological processes and may have an important role in carcinogenesis. Its expression is found to be upregulated in gastric cancer cell lines and primary gastric cancers. YY1 is found to contribute to carcinogenesis in gastric cancer. This DNA-binding protein is found to regulate the activity of the c-fos promoter.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The assembly of multicomponent complexes at promoters, enhancers, and silencers likely entails perturbations in the path of the DNA helix. We present evidence that YY1, a ubiquitously expressed DNA-binding protein, regulates the activity of the c-fos promoter primarily through an
