Human MHC class II transactivator, CIITA ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein with an acidic transcriptional activation domain, 4 LRRs (leucine-rich repeats) and a GTP binding domain. The protein is located in the nucleus and acts as a positive regulator of class II major histocompatibility complex gene transcription, and is referred to as the "master control factor" for the expression of these genes. The protein also binds GTP and uses GTP binding to facilitate its own transport into the nucleus. Once in the nucleus it does not bind DNA but rather uses an intrinsic acetyltransferase (AT) activity to act in a coactivator-like fashion. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bare lymphocyte syndrome type II (also known as hereditary MHC class II deficiency or HLA class II-deficient combined immunodeficiency), increased susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and possibly myocardial infarction. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]
Uniprot Description
CIITA: a non-DNA binding transactivator that functions both in constitutive and inducible MHC Class II expression. Defects are a cause of bare lymphocyte syndrome type II (BLS II), a form of severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) characterized by a profound defect in constitutive and interferon-gamma induced MHC II expression, an absence of cellular and humoral T-cell response to antigen challenge, hypogammaglobulinemia and impaired antibody production.

Product Notes
The Human CIITA ciita (Catalog #AAA9328686) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9328686 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CIITA. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "class II, major histocompatibility complex, transactivator, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
