Target data

Function

E3 SUMO-protein ligase which facilitates SUMO1 conjugation by UBE2I (PubMed:12679040). Involved in the sumoylation of HNRNPK, a p53/TP53 transcriptional coactivator, hence indirectly regulates p53/TP53 transcriptional activation resulting in p21/CDKN1A expression. Monosumoylates ZNF131 (PubMed:22825850). Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development (PubMed:12167701, PubMed:19636380, PubMed:21282530). PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed:12167701, PubMed:19636380, PubMed:21282530). Binds to histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me3) (By similarity). Plays a role in the lineage differentiation of the germ layers in embryonic development (By similarity).

Notes

ab269462 is the carrier-free version of Anti-CBX4 antibody [EPR23053-7] - ChIP Grade ab242149.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

CBX4 also known as Chromobox protein homolog 4 or Polycomb 2 acts mechanically as part of the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. It weighs approximately 60 kDa and it is found in nuclear matrix where it participates in chromatin remodeling. CBX4 shows significant expression in tissues like liver brain and lung indicating its wide importance to cellular function. By binding to methylated histones especially H3K27me3 CBX4 influences gene silencing and epigenetic regulation important for maintaining cellular identity.

Biological function summary

CBX4 operates as a component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) which plays role in controlling gene expression patterns during development. In this complex CBX4 interacts with other core components such as BMI1 and RING1 to facilitate monoubiquitination of histone H2A leading to transcriptional repression. This ability of CBX4 to modulate epigenetic states highlights its importance in critical developmental processes and differentiation.

Pathways

CBX4 significantly influences gene regulatory networks involved in cell cycle and apoptosis pathways. In the cell cycle regulation CBX4 interacts with important proteins such as Cyclin D1 impacting cell proliferation. In apoptosis CBX4 has roles linked to the p53 pathway by modulating transcriptional activity which influences cellular fate. These pathways underline the significance of CBX4 in maintaining balance between cell growth and death.

Associated diseases and disorders

The deregulation of CBX4 expression has been associated with cancers like hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer. CBX4 potentially interacts with proteins such as p21 and p16 whose pathways play significant roles in cancer development. This underlines its role as a potential biomarker or therapeutic target in cancer treatment strategies. Understanding the function and regulation of CBX4 could offer insights in devising novel treatments for these malignancies.
