Anti-Cellular oncogene fos (c-Fos) Antibody

FUNCTION: Nuclear phosphoprotein which forms a tight but non-covalently linked complex with the JUN/AP-1 transcription factor. Has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. It is thought to have an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer. Interacts with DSIPI; this interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA. Interacts with MAFB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. INDUCTION: C-fos expression increases upon a variety of stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, neurotransmitters, polypeptide hormones, stress and cell injury. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bZIP domain

Our Anti-Cellular oncogene fos (c-Fos) sheep polyclonal primary antibody detects hamster, human, rabbit, and rat Cellular oncogene fos (c-Fos), and is IgG. It is validated for use in IHC-Frozen, WB.

A synthetic peptide (MFSGFNADYEASSSRC; aa 2-17) conjugated to diphtheria toxoid has been used as the immunogen. The peptide is homologous with the corresponding sequence derived from cFos protein human, rat, mouse, hamster and cat.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 500 μL sterile-filtered 1X PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.

This antiserum shows a high level of specificity for c-FOS confirmed by immunohistochemistry. This antiserum is known to react with rat and rabbit and hamster cFOS.
