It has an approximate molecular mass of 37 kDa. Bmi1 is expressed in many tissues including the brain bone marrow and hematopoietic cells. It functions as a transcriptional repressor. Bmi1 plays an important role in chromatin remodeling influencing gene silencing and regulation of developmental processes. Bmi1 ELISA assays are commonly used for quantifying its levels in various research applications.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe functions of Bmi1 extend into maintaining stem cell renewal and differentiation. It acts as part of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) partnering with other proteins to regulate gene expression by altering chromatin structure. Bmi1 protein regulates cell proliferation and inhibits senescence by repressing the INK4a\/ARF locus which encodes tumor suppressor proteins like p16INK4a and p14ARF.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nBmi1 plays significant roles in processes such as the DNA damage response and the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells. It is involved in the modulation of the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways. Bmi1 protein interacts closely with proteins such as CBX2 and RNF2 within these pathways affecting the transcriptional landscape that governs cell fate decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBmi1 overexpression links to cancer particularly breast cancer and leukemia. In MCF7 breast cancer cells alterations in Bmi1 activity contribute to oncogenesis and tumor progression. Its dysregulation can connect to Myc a well-known oncogenic protein. Additionally Bmi1's influence in Cas9-based gene editing models highlights its potential in cancer therapy research. Bmi1 has also been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders with connections to proteins like p21CIP1 affecting neuronal survival and aging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845109534889,"sku":"ab266514","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab266514","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
