LYAR Polyclonal Antibody

Plays a role in the maintenance of the appropriate processing of 47S/45S pre-rRNA to 32S/30S pre-rRNAs and their subsequent processing to produce 18S and 28S rRNAs. Also acts at the level of transcription regulation. Along with PRMT5, binds the gamma-globin (HBG1/HBG2 promoter and represses its expression. In neuroblastoma cells, may also repress the expression of oxidative stress genes, including CHAC1, HMOX1, SLC7A11, ULBP1 and SNORD41 that encodes a small nucleolar RNA. Preferentially binds to a DNA motif containing 5'-GGTTAT-3'. Negatively regulates the antiviral innate immune response by targeting IRF3 and impairing its DNA-binding activity. In addition, inhibits NF-kappa-B-mediated expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Stimulates phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments by retinal pigment epithelial cells (By similarity. Prevents nucleolin/NCL self-cleavage, maintaining a normal steady-state level of NCL protein in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs, which in turn is essential for ESC self-renewal (By similarity.
