Anti-ASF1B Antibody

Western blot analysis of ASF1B expression in HEK293T (A), U87MG (B), Hela (C), K562 (D), MCF7 (E) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 22 kD; Observed band size: 22 kD)
Immunohistochemical analysis of ASF1B staining in human testis formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Protein Information
Name	ASF1B {ECO:0000303\|PubMed:11470414, ECO:0000312\|HGNC:HGNC:20996}
Function	Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly (PubMed:11897662, PubMed:14718166, PubMed:15664198, PubMed:16151251, PubMed:21454524, PubMed:26527279). Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly (PubMed:11897662, PubMed:14718166, PubMed:15664198, PubMed:16151251). Also involved in the nuclear import of the histone H3-H4 dimer together with importin-4 (IPO4): specifically recognizes and binds newly synthesized histones with the monomethylation of H3 'Lys-9' (H3K9me1) and diacetylation at 'Lys-5' and 'Lys-12' of H4 (H4K5K12ac) marks in the cytosol (PubMed:20953179, PubMed:21454524, PubMed:26527279). Does not participate in replication-independent nucleosome deposition which is mediated by ASF1A and HIRA (PubMed:11897662, PubMed:14718166, PubMed:15664198, PubMed:16151251). Required for gonad development (PubMed:12842904).
Cellular Location	Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytosol
Tissue Location	Highly expressed in testis and at lower levels in colon, small intestine and thymus.
