Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects bromodomain-containing protein 4 (gene BRD4) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 152.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 240 kDa.
BRD4 is a BET family chromatin reader whose two bromodomains bind acetylated histones. It recruits the P-TEFb complex to promote transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II and stays on chromatin during mitosis to help transmit gene expression programs. BRD4 is concentrated at super-enhancers of oncogenes such as MYC and is the main target of BET inhibitors like JQ1.

Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the middle region of human BRD4. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 95%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places bromodomain-containing protein 4 in the nucleus and chromosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitously expressed. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
