Application Note | Anti-NF-Y (A subunit) Antibody was tested by immunoblot and found to be reactive against NF-Y (A subunit specific) at a dilution of 1:6,000 followed by reaction with Peroxidase conjugated Affinity Purified anti-Rabbit IgG [H&L] (Goat). Anti-NF-Y (A subunit specific) is suitable for the detection by immunoblot of human and mouse NF-Y. Negligible reactivity was observed against the B subunit of NF-Y. Anti-NF-Y (A subunit) Antibody was also tested in a gel supershift assay and found to be reactive against NF-Y using 1.0 to 2.0 µl per assay. Anti-NF-Y was tested in IHC using human prostate tissue with 10 µg/mL. Specific conditions should be optimized by user. |

Name | NFYA |
---|---|
Function | Component of the sequence-specific heterotrimeric transcription factor (NF-Y) which specifically recognizes a 5'-CCAAT-3' box motif found in the promoters of its target genes. NF-Y can function as both an activator and a repressor, depending on its interacting cofactors. NF-YA positively regulates the transcription of the core clock component BMAL1. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |

Background
Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NFYA gene. The protein encoded by this gene is one subunit of a trimeric complex, forming a highly conserved transcription factor that binds to CCAAT motifs in the promoter regions in a variety of genes. Subunit A associates with a tight dimer composed of the B and C subunits, resulting in a trimer that binds to DNA with high specificity and affinity. The sequence specific interactions of the complex are made by the A subunit, suggesting a role as the regulatory subunit. In addition, there is evidence of post-transcriptional regulation in this gene product, either by protein degradation or control of translation. Further regulation is represented by alternative splicing in the glutamine-rich activation domain, with clear tissue-specific preferences for the two isoforms. Anti-NF-Y is ideal for investigators involved in transcription factor research.
