| Source | Rabbit | | Reactivity | Human;Monkey | | Background | HMGA1, formerly known as HMG-I/Y, belongs to a family of high mobility group proteins that contain an AT-hook DNA binding domain. HMGA proteins are considered architectural transcription factors; they do not have direct transcriptional activation capacity, but instead regulate gene expression by changing DNA conformation through binding to AT-rich regions in the DNA and/or direct interaction with other transcription factors. HMGA1 is highly expressed during embryogenesis and in embryonic stem cells, but not in fully differentiated adult tissues. Research studies have shown that HMGA1 is over-expressed in rapidly dividing neoplastic cells and a wide variety of aggressive cancers, including thyroid, colon, breast, pancreas, and prostate. Investigators have shown that forced expression of HMGA1 induces cellular transformation and an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, while inhibition of HMGA1 expression blocks anchorage-independent cell growth and proliferation of cancer cells, suggesting that HMGA1 contributes to carcinogenesis by inducing and maintaining a de-differentiated, highly proliferative cell state. | | References | [1] Cleynen, I. and Van de Ven, W.J.
