Background
PRDM5 (PR Domain Containing 5) is a transcription factor of the PR-domain protein family. It contains a PR-domain and multiple zinc finger motifs. Mutations of PRDM5 causes Type 2 brittle cornea syndrome (BCS2) which is an inherited connective tissue disease with a devastating ocular phenotype through histone and DNA methylation. PRDM5 is a relevant tumour suppressor gene that is frequently targeted in colorectal tumourigenesis. Promoter methylation-mediated downregulation of PRDM5 contributes to the development of lung squamous cell carcinoma. It is a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor and represses transcription at least in part by recruitment of the histone methyltransferase EHMT2/G9A and histone deacetylases such as HDAC1.
Application Notes
This product was manufactured as described in Protein Details. Where possible, Active Motif has developed functional or activity assays for recombinant proteins. Additional characterization such as enzyme kinetic activity assays, inhibitor screening or other biological activity assays may not have been performed for every product. All available data for a given product is shown on the lot-specific Technical Data Sheet.
