BMAL1 (Acetyl Lys538) rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: The protein encoded by this gene is a basic helix-loop-helix protein that forms a heterodimer with CLOCK. This heterodimer binds E-box enhancer elements upstream of Period (PER1, PER2, PER3) and Cryptochrome (CRY1, CRY2) genes and activates transcription of these genes. PER and CRY proteins heterodimerize and repress their own transcription by interacting in a feedback loop with CLOCK/ARNTL complexes. Defects in this gene have been linked to infertility, problems with gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis, and altered sleep patterns. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014],alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,function:ARNTL-CLOCK heterodimers activate E-box element (3'-CACGTG-5') transcription of a number of proteins of the circadian clock. This transcription is inhibited in a feedback loop by PER, and also by CRY proteins.,miscellaneous:CLOCK-ARNTL double mutations within the PAS domains result in syngernistic desensitization to high levels of CRY on repression of CLOCK-ARNTL transcriptional activity of PER1 and, disrupt circadian rhythmicity.,PTM:Acetylated on Lys-538 upon dimerization with CLOCK. Acetylation facilitates CRY1-mediated repression.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon dimerization with CLOCK.,PTM:Sumoylated on Lys-259 upon dimerization with CLOCK.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain.,similarity:Contains 2 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domains.,subunit:Component of the circadian clock oscillator which includes the CRY proteins, CLOCK or NPAS2, ARNTL or ARNTL2, CSNK1D and/or CSNK1E, TIMELESS and the PER proteins. Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Heterodimerization with CLOCK is required for E-box-dependent transactivation, for CLOCK nuclear translocation and degradation, and, for phosphorylation of both CLOCK and ARNTL. Interaction with PER and CRY proteins requires translocation to the nucleus. Interaction of the CLOCK-ARNTL heterodimer with PER or CRY inhibits transcription activation. Interacts with HSP90; with AHR in vitro, but not in vivo.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in the adult brain, skeletal muscle and heart.,
