Immunogen:
KLH conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human RNF110/PCGF2.
Background Information:
Polycomb group ring finger 2, also known as PCGF2, is a transcriptional repressor. Polycomb group (PcG) of genes were first identified in Drosophila whereby these genes were required to sustain the stable repression of Hox cluster genes during development. Studies have shown that PCGF2 forms multimeric protein complexes associated with chromatin. In addition, PCGF2 may play a role in cell proliferation and/or neural cell development. PCGF2 is widely expressed in placenta, lung, and kidneys but expressed very little in skeletal muscle, liver, and pancreas.

Entrez Gene Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif and is similar to the polycomb group (PcG) gene products. PcG gene products form complexes via protein-protein interaction and maintain the transcription repression of genes involved in embryogenesis, cell cycles, and tumorigenesis. This protein was shown to act as a negative regulator of transcription and has tumor suppressor activity. The expression of this gene was detected in various tumor cells, but is limited in neural organs in normal tissues. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this protein may negatively regulate the expression of different cytokines, chemokines, and chemokine receptors, and thus plays an important role in lymphocyte differentiation and migration, as well as in immune responses.
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: Transcriptional repressor. Binds specifically to the DNA sequence 5'-GACTNGACT-3'. Has tumor suppressor activity. May play a role in control of cell proliferation and/or neural cell development. Regulates proliferation of early T progenitor cells by maintaining expression of HES1. Also plays a role in antero-posterior specification of the axial skeleton and negative regulation of the self-renewal activity of hematopoietic stem cells. Component of the Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1 complex, a complex required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. 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.
