ATRX (alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked protein, X-linked helicase II, XNP) is a transcriptional regulator and a member of the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodeling proteins. It contains an SNF2 domain and helicase domain, and a PHD finger. ATRX undergoes cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation, which regulates its nuclear matrix and chromatin association, and suggests its involvement in interphase gene regulation and chromosomal segregation in mitosis. Mutations of the ATRX gene are associated with an X-linked mental retardation syndrome most often accompanied by alpha-thalassemia (ATRX) syndrome. These mutations have been shown to cause diverse changes in the pattern of DNA methylation, which may provide a link between chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, and gene expression in developmental processes. ATRX antibody (pAb) was raised in a Rabbit host. It has been validated for use in Western blot, it has been shown to react with Human samples.
