Specificity
This antibody recognises PHD finger protein 6, also known as CENP-31, BFLS, BORJ and KIAA1823. The gene encoding PHF6 is located on the x-chromosome, and mutations cause Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann Syndrome, a rare disease characterized by features including intellectual disability, developmental delay, and epilepsy. PHF6 is a tumor suppressor, and a negative regulator of hemopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal. Therefore, mutations that inactivate PHF6 gene function have also been implicated in hematological malignancies.
