DescriptionAnti-Bystin Antibody
Background InformationBystin and tastin serve as cytoplasmic proteins that are required for trophinin to mediate cell-to-cell adhesion between trophoblastic and endometrial epithelial cells in human placenta. Although the trophinin gene is unique to mammals, the bystin gene (BYSL) is conserved across eukaryotes. It is shown that bystin influences the transition from silent trophectoderm to an active trophoblast through trophinin-mediated cell adhesion. It is also essential for embryonic stem cell survival and trophectoderm development in mouse. Bystin is demonstrated to play a key role in ribosomal biogenesis by processing 18S RNA in the 40S subunit in human cancer cells and mouse embryos. It is also reported that c-MYC targets BYSL, which corresponds with bystin-mediated, rapid protein synthesis, and subsequent cellular growth.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryBystin is expressed as a 2-kb major transcript and a 3.6-kb minor transcript in SNG-M cells and in human trophoblastic teratocarcinoma HT-H cells. Protein binding assays determined that bystin binds directly to trophinin and tastin, and that binding is enhanced when cytokeratins 8 and 18 are present. Immunocytochemistry of HT-H cells showed that bystin colocalizes with trophinin, tastin, and the cytokeratins, suggesting that these molecules form a complex in trophectoderm cells at the time of implantation. Using immunohistochemistry it was determined that trophinin and bystin are found in the placenta from the sixth week of pregnancy. Both proteins were localized in the cytoplasm of the syncytiotrophoblast in the chorionic villi and in endometrial decidual cells at the uteroplacental interface. After week 10, the levels of trophinin, tastin, and bystin decreased and then disappeared from placental villi.
