FALZ is a bromodomain-containing protein that is the histone-binding component of NURF (nucleosome-remodeling factor), a complex which catalyzes ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding and facilitates transcription of chromatin. Specifically recognizes H3 tails trimethylated on Lys4 (H3K4me3), which mark transcription start sites of virtually all active genes. May also regulate transcription through direct binding to DNA or transcription factors. High levels of FALZ were detected in fetal brain and in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to a single bromodomain, aa2791-2911, from human BPTF, fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
