products description :
Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) detection. Background: CIITA is a human gene which is mapped to 16p13. This gene encodes a protein with an acidic transcriptional activation domain, 4 LRRs (leucine-rich repeats) and a GTP binding domain. The protein is located in the nucleus and acts as a positive regulator of class II major histocompatibility complex gene transcription, and is referred to as the "master control factor" for the expression of these genes. Also, the protein binds GTP and uses GTP binding to facilitate its own transport into the nucleus. Once in the nucleus it does not bind DNA but rather uses an intrinsic acetyltransferase (AT) activity to act in a coactivator-like fashion. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bare lymphocyte syndrome type II (also known as hereditary MHC class II deficiency or HLA class II-deficient combined immunodeficiency), increased susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and possibly myocardial infarction. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

uniprot summary :
CIITA: a non-DNA binding transactivator that functions both in constitutive and inducible MHC Class II expression. Defects are a cause of bare lymphocyte syndrome type II (BLS II), a form of severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) characterized by a profound defect in constitutive and interferon-gamma induced MHC II expression, an absence of cellular and humoral T-cell response to antigen challenge, hypogammaglobulinemia and impaired antibody production. Protein type: DNA-binding; EC 2.7.11.1; Transcription, coactivator/corepressor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 16p13. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; PML body. Molecular Function: DNA binding; protein binding; protein C-terminus binding; protein complex binding; transcription activator binding; transcription coactivator activity. Biological Process: immune response; negative regulation of collagen biosynthetic process; negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; positive regulation of MHC class I biosynthetic process; positive regulation of MHC class II biosynthetic process; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; response to antibiotic. Disease: Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome, Type Ii; Rheumatoid Arthritis
