CoREST (REST corepressor 1, RCOR1) is a corepressor protein recruited by the REST, a neuronal gene-specific transcriptional repressor, to help repress neuron specific gene expression in non-neuronal cell lineages. CoREST is an essential component of the BHC repressor complex that also contains HDAC1, HDAC2, HMG20B/BRAF35, LSD1 (a lysine-4 specific histone demethylase) and PHF21A/BHC80. The Herpes Simplex virus ICP0 protein blocks the repression of viral genes by disrupting the interaction between CoREST and HDAC1/2. CoREST 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.
Purification
Affinity Purified
Immunogen
This CoREST antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human CoREST.
