General description

ASF1a (anti-silencing function 1a) is a histone H3/H4 chaperone and chromatin regulator. This protein facilitates histone placement and histone removal and exchange during nucleosome assembly/disassembly and is essential for the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatic foci (SAHF). ASF1a interacts with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with HIRA inside PML bodies of cells approaching senescence after p53/p21 activation.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human ASF1a.
