SP1 Primary Antibody
Transcription factor that can activate or repress transcription in response to physiological and pathological stimuli. Binds with high affinity to GC-rich motifs and regulates the expression of a large number of genes involved in a variety of processes such as cell growth, apoptosis, differentiation and immune responses. Highly regulated bypost-translational modifications (phosphorylations, sumoylation, proteolytic cleavage, glycosylation and acetylation).Binds also the PDGFR-alpha G-box promoter. May have a role in modulating the cellular response to DNA damage.Implicated in chromatin remodeling. Plays a role in the recruitment of SMARCA4/BRG1 on the c-FOS promoter.
