Uses
Anti-ZMYND8 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project
(www.proteinatlas.org). 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 . In addition, the antibody has been used for co-immunoprecipitation.
General Description
The gene ZMYND8 (zinc finger MYND domain-containing protein 8) is mapped to human chromosome 20q13.12. The protein has a plant homeodomain, a bromodomain, a PWWP (pro-trp-trp-pro) chromatin-binding domain and a protein-protein interaction MYND (myeloid, Nervy, and DEAF-1) domain.
Biochem/physiol Actions
ZMYND8 (zinc finger MYND domain-containing protein 8) is involved in DNA damage response. It brings the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex to damaged chromatin, and promotes homologous recombination. ZMYND8 has been shown as a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma-associated antigen. In acute erythroid leukaemia, ZMYND8-RELA (v-rel avian reticuloendotheliosis viral oncogene homolog A) fusion gene increases leukaemogenically. ZMYND8 induces expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and thereby mediates tumor angiogenesis.
