Application

Anti-E2F7 polyclonal antibody is used to tag E2F transcription factor 7 proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the role of E2F transcription factor 7 in the regulation of cell proliferation, especially at the level of G(1)/S gene activity during S-phase progression.

Biochem/physiol Actions

E2F7 is a E2F family member. It can block the E2F-dependent activation of a subset of E2F target genes as well as mitigate cellular proliferation of mouse embryo fibroblasts

General description

E2F transcription factors are key regulators of cell growth, differentiation and cell death. E2F transcription factor 7 (E2F7) which is highly expressed during mid to late S-phase binds to the promoter regions of and represses G(1)/S-regulated genes thus promoting the downswing of oscillating G(1)/S genes during S-phase progression.
