Background:

PBF, also known as PTTG1IP (pituitary tumor-transforming 1 interacting protein), is a 180 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that localizes both the cytoplasm and the nucleus and contains a coiled-coil domain. Expressed ubiquitously, PBF interacts with PTTG and is thought to facilitate the nuclear translocation of PTTG, thereby allowing the PTTG-dependent transcriptional activation of fibroblast growth factor (FGF). The gene encoding PBF maps to human chromosome 21, which houses approximately 300 genes and comprises nearly 1.5% of the human genome. Chromosome 21-associated disorders include Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and, most notably, Down syndrome (also known as trisomy 21).

Specificity:

PBF (R151) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of PBF protein.
