Small volumes of anti-ATRX antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

The protein encoded by this gene contains an ATPase/helicase domain, and thus it belongs to the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodeling proteins. The mutations of this gene are associated with an X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) syndrome most often accompanied by alpha-thalassemia (ATRX) syndrome. These mutations have been shown to cause diverse changes in the pattern of DNA methylation, which may provide a link between chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, and gene expression in developmental processes. This protein is found to undergo cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation, which regulates its nuclear matrix and chromatin association, and suggests its involvement in the gene regulation at interphase and chromosomal segregation in mitosis. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq]

ATRX: a global transcriptional regulator. Belongs to the SNF2 family of proteins, many of which modify gene expression via chromatin remodeling activity. Involved in the developmental silencing of imprinted genes in the brain. Contains one PxVxL motif, which is required for interaction with chromoshadow domains. This motif requires additional residues at -7, -6, +4 and +5 relative to the central V which contact the chromoshadow domain. Constitutive mutations in ATRX are associated with brain, facial, and genital abnormalities, and alpha thalassemia. Acquired mutations in ATRX have been observed in preleukemic conditions. Six alternatively spliced human isoforms have been described.
