Target Details
- Target: BORIS
- Molecular weight: 83 kDa
- Tissue cell line specificity: Testis
- Target background: BORIS protein is a transcriptional repressor encoded by CTCFL gene, and is normally present at high levels in testis. BORIS protein has been identified as Cancer-Testis Antigen (CTA) with testis-specific paralogue of the CCCTC-binding factor. Recent studies have demonstrated that BORIS is directly responsible for the transcriptional activation of TSP50 (testes-specific protease 50). BORIS protein is detected in all prostate cell lines and prostate tumours, but it is absent in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues. Increased BORIS protein levels correlate with higher Gleason scores, T-stage and androgen receptor (AR) protein levels in prostate tumours. This reagent is for research and as a diagnostic tool.
