BRD7 Blocking Peptide – The purity is >90%,tested by HPLC and MS. Purity

This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the bromodomain-containing protein family. The product of this gene has been identified as a component of one form of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, and as a protein which interacts with p53 and is required for p53-dependent oncogene-induced senescence which prevents tumor growth. Pseudogenes have been described on chromosomes 2, 3, 6, 13 and 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

BRD7: a bromodomain protein that binds dishevelled-1 (DVL1) and enhances Wnt signaling by inhibiting GSK3B. Interacts with DVL1, PTPN13, IRF2 and HNRPUL1. Associates with histones and E1B-AP5. Binds acetylated histone peptides, most notably H3 peptide acetylated at Lys14. Associates with histones and E1B-AP5. Its bromodomain is found in many chromatin-associated proteins and most known histone acetyltransferases. Inhibits G1-S progression by transcriptional regulation of molecules in the ras and Rb pathways. Plays an important role in transcriptional activation and chromatin remodeling. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
