E2F3 Antibody

E2F3 is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors. The E2F family plays a crucial role in the control of cell cycle and action of tumor suppressor proteins and is also a target of the transforming proteins of small DNA tumor viruses. The E2F proteins contain several evolutionally conserved domains found in most members of the family. These domains include a DNA binding domain, a dimerization domain which determines interaction with the differentiation regulated transcription factor proteins (DP), a transactivation domain enriched in acidic amino acids, and a tumor suppressor protein association domain which is embedded within the transactivation domain. This protein and another 2 members, E2F1 and E2F2, have an additional cyclin binding domain. E2F3 binds specifically to retinoblastoma protein pRB in a cell-cycle dependent manner.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store E2F3 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

E2F3 antibody can be used for detection of E2F3 by ELISA at 1:62500. E2F3 antibody can be used for detection of E2F3 by western blot at 0.25 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
