Peptide sequence around aa.873ca.877(R-E-E-A-S) derived from Human REST.

Transcriptional repressor which binds neuron-restrictive silencer element (NRSE) and represses neuronal gene transcription in non-neuronal cells. Restricts the expression of neuronal genes by associating with two distinct corepressors, mSin3 and CoREST, which in turn recruit histone deacetylase to the promoters of REST-regulated genes. Mediates repression by recruiting the BHC complex at RE1/NRSE sites which acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier.

Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugateds. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific peptide.
