Gene Reference Data
Alternate Names
DNA-binding protein RFX5; regulatory factor X 5; regulatory factor X, 5 (influences HLA class II expression)
Description (eCommerce)
Regulatory factor X-5 (RFX5) is a 75kDa subunit of the regulatory factor X (RFX) heteromeric complex that activates the transcription of major histocompatibility class II (MHC-II) genes by binding MHC-II promoter elements. The RFX complex consists of RFX5, RFXANK, and RFXAP. Mutations in these genes result in a lack of MHCII transcription and lead to the severe combined immunodeficiency disease, Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome (BLS).
Description (Vector)
A lack of MHC-II expression results in a severe immunodeficiency syndrome called MHC-II deficiency, or the bare lymphocyte syndrome (BLS; MIM 209920). At least 4 complementation groups have been identified in B-cell lines established from patients with BLS. The molecular defects in complementation groups B, C, and D all lead to a deficiency in RFX, a nuclear protein complex that binds to the X box of MHC-II promoters. The lack of RFX binding activity in complementation group C results from mutations in the RFX5 gene encoding the 75-kD subunit of RFX (Steimle et al., 1995). RFX5 is the fifth member of the growing family of DNA-binding proteins sharing a novel and highly characteristic DNA-binding domain called the RFX motif. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found but the full-length natures of only two have been determined.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
