ID3 Antibodies

Members of the Id family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins include ID1, ID2, ID3 and ID4. They are ubiquitously expressed and dimerize with members of the class A and B HLH proteins. Due to the absence of the basic region, the resulting heterodimers cannot bind DNA. The ID-type proteins thus appear to negatively regulate DNA binding of bHLH proteins. Since ID1 inhibits DNA binding of E12 and Myo D, it apparently functions to inhibit muscle-specific gene expression. Under conditions that facilitate muscle cell differentiation, the ID protein levels fall, allowing E12 and/or E47 to form ...
