Rabbit REST / NRSF Polyclonal Antibody | anti-REST / NRSF antibody
REST / NRSF Antibody BIOTIN-Conjugated
ELISA: 1:10,000
Immunoprecipitation: 1:200
Western Blot: 1:500
Transcriptional repressor which binds neuron-restrictive silencer element (NRSE) and represses neuronal gene transcription in non-neuronal cells. Restricts the expression of neuronal genes by associating with two distinct corepressors, mSin3 and CoREST, which in turn recruit histone deacetylase to the promoters of REST-regulated genes.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a transcriptional repressor that represses neuronal genes in non-neuronal tissues. It is a member of the Kruppel-type zinc finger transcription factor family. It represses transcription by binding a DNA sequence element called the neuron-restrictive silencer element. The protein is also found in undifferentiated neuronal progenitor cells and it is thought that this repressor may act as a master negative regular of neurogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
Uniprot Description
REST: a transcriptional repressor that binds neuron-restrictive silencer element (NRSE) and represses neuronal gene transcription in non-neuronal cells during embryonic development. Induced during ageing in human cortical and hippocampal neurons, where it represses genes that promote cell death and induces the expression of stress response genes. Protects neurons from amyloid beta- and oxidative stress-induced toxicity. The deletion of REST in the mouse brain induces age-related neurodegeneration. Restricts the expression of neuronal genes by associating with two distinct corepressors, SIN3A and RCOR1, which in turn recruit histone deacetylase to the promoters of REST-regulated genes. Mediates repression by recruiting the BHC complex at NRSE sites which acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier. REST activates DYRK1A transcription via a neuron-restricted silencer element in the DYRK1A promoter. Four isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The REST / NRSF rest (Catalog #AAA544698) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The REST / NRSF Antibody BIOTIN-Conjugated reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's REST / NRSF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB). Dot Blot: 1:10,000 ELISA: 1:10,000 Immunoprecipitation: 1:200 Western Blot: 1:500. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the REST / NRSF rest for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "REST / NRSF, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
