Target/Specificity | This PHF21A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 436-464 amino acids from the Central region of human PHF21A. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | PHF21A Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PHF21A |

Synonyms | BHC80, KIAA1696 |
Function | Component of the BHC complex, a corepressor complex that represses transcription of neuron-specific genes in non-neuronal cells. The BHC complex is recruited at RE1/NRSE sites by REST and acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier. In the BHC complex, it may act as a scaffold. Inhibits KDM1A-mediated demethylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 in vitro, suggesting a role in demethylation regulation. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in brain (PubMed:31649809). Expressed at lower level in other tissues, including heart, kidney, liver, lung and skeletal muscle (PubMed:31649809). Abundantly expressed in fetal brain (PubMed:31649809). |

Background
The PHF21A gene encodes BHC80, a component of a BRAF35 (MIM 605535)/histone deacetylase (HDAC; see MIM 601241) complex (BHC) that mediates repression of neuron-specific genes through the cis-regulatory element known as repressor element-1 (RE1) or neural restrictive silencer (NRS) (Hakimi et al., 2002 [PubMed 12032298]).
