CHAF1B (Chromatin assembly factor 1, subunit B) is a large subunit (60kDa) of Chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) located on chromosome 21q22.2. It is predominantly expressed in nucleus.
Synonyms: Anti-CAF-1 subunit B; Anti-CAF-I 60 kDa subunit; Anti-CAF-Ip60; Anti-Chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit B; Anti-Chromatin assembly factor I p60 subunit; Anti-M-phase phosphoprotein 7
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: CHAF1B (Chromatin assembly factor 1, subunit B) is involved in the S-phase-specific organization of nucleosome of DNA strand during DNA replication and repair. It has been reported in a study that silenced gene expression of CHAF1B associates with cell death and loss of chromatin assembly during DNA synthesis. Report shows that CHAF1B can also be a prognostic marker in renal, endometrial and cervical carcinomas.
