Recombinant full-length human SFMBT2 protein was used as the immunogen for the SFMBT2 antibody.
The SFMBT2 (Scm-like with four MBT domains 2) gene shares high similarity with the Drosophila Scm (sex comb on midleg) gene. Sfmbt2 is a Polycomb group (PcG) gene that maps to the proximal region of Chromosome 2, and is a putative imprinted gene. Sfmbt2 is the first imprinted gene within this region to be identified. Studies indicate that six different translocations involving proximal chromosome 2 results in lethality when present as a maternal uniparental duplication.
