Rabbit polyclonal antibody to BorisBrother of the regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS) is a transcription factor also known as CCCTC- binding factor like protein (CTCF). Boris is usually expressed at a high level in the testis which correlates with male germ cell development and is also abnormally activated in a broad range of human cancers. Boris can be found in the nucles as well as in the cytoplasm.

Tissue Specificity
This antibody is specific for Boris.
Cellular Localization
May translocate to the nucleolus upon cell differentiation. Associates with both centromeres and chromosomal arms during metaphase. Associates with the H19 ICR in mitotic chromosomes. May be preferentially excluded from heterochromatin during interphase.
