HMGB1/HMG-1 Antibody [PE]

HMGB1 (high mobility group protein B1) is a member of HMGB family and it has been extensively studied as a transcription/growth factor that is most ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved protein in eukaryotic organisms. HMGB1 is localized in nucleus, however gets translocated to cytoplasm or may get secreted also. It is a DNA binding protein that preferentially binds with ssDNA and contains 2 HMG box DNA-binding domains with ability of chromatin association for bending DNA. HMGB1 implicates in in V(D)J recombination by acting as a cofactor of RAG complex that contains core components RAG1 and RAG2, as well as an associated component HMGB1 or HMGB2. HMGB1 acts by stimulating cleavage and RAG protein binding at 23bp spacer of conserved RSS (recombination signal sequences). Originally described as a nonhistone nuclear protein with transcriptional regulatory properties, HMGB1 (especially the cytoplasmic/secreted form) has also now been recognized as a late mediator in septic shock as well as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It gets translocated to cytoplasm or secreted when cells get exposed to inflammatory mediators (LPS, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma) or via passive process during cellular necrosis. HMGB1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as SLE, RA and ankylosing spondylitis.
