A portion of amino acids 11-132 from human BACH2 protein was used as the immunogen for the BACH2 antibody.
Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in primary adaptive immune response involving T cells and B cells. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Implicated in immunodeficiency 60. Transcriptional regulator that acts as a repressor or activator. Binds to Maf recognition elements (MARE). Plays an important role in coordinating transcription activation and repression by MAFK. Induces apoptosis in response to oxidative stress through repression of the antiapoptotic factor HMOX1. Positively regulates the nuclear import of actin. Is a key regulator of adaptive immunity, crucial for the maintenance of regulatory T-cell function and B-cell maturation.
