Product details:
Human YY1 ELISA kit (ab287171) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human YY1 protein in human cell and tissue extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human YY1 with 57.7 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

YY1 also known as Yin Yang 1 is a transcription factor that regulates gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences. It is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 68 kDa and is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues including liver lung and kidney. Functionally YY1 can both activate and repress transcription making it versatile in regulating gene activity. It interacts with several co-factors and other proteins influencing chromatin structure and gene expression.
Biological function summary
Yin Yang 1 plays an important role in various cellular processes such as cell proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. It is part of a chromatin remodeling complex where it assists in modifying the architecture of chromatin to control gene activity. Due to its ability to bind to diverse DNA motifs YY1 is involved in embryonic development and cellular differentiation. Additionally it interacts with other transcription factors to coordinate the expression of genes critical for cell cycle progression and survival.
Pathways
The Yin Yang 1 transcription factor is integrally involved in several key signaling pathways. It plays a notable role in the Wnt signaling pathway which is vital for controlling cell growth and differentiation. YY1 interacts with proteins such as β-catenin an important player in the Wnt pathway to mediate its transcriptional effects. Furthermore it also functions within the mTOR signaling pathway associating with proteins like mTOR itself to impact cell metabolism and growth.
Alterations in the expression or function of YY1 have been implicated in several conditions. Dysregulation of YY1 has strong associations with cancer as its interactions with proteins like MYC can lead to abnormal cell proliferation and tumor development. Additionally its role in neuronal differentiation links it with neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. In these contexts YY1's interaction with other transcription factors and regulatory proteins influences disease progression and severity.
