Application

Rabbit Anti-NFYA antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (4-8µg/ml using paraffin-embedded tissues) and western blot (5-8µg/ml) applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NFYA 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.

General description

NFYA is a nuclear transcription factor that forms a regulatory subunit of the trimeric complex of NF-Y that associates with CCAAT motifs in cell cycle progression genes. Hence, this gene has been implicated in cell proliferation. Furthermore, NFYA can also facilitate the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).Rabbit Anti-NFYA antibody recognizes canine, chicken, human, mouse, rat, and bovine NFYA.
