Anti-CEBP Delta Antibody

This antibody is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. C/EBP proteins are DNA-binding proteins that are important transcriptional activators in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses and may play an important role in the regulation of the several genes associated with activation and/or differentiation of macrophages. Members of the C/EBP transcription factor family are related by a high degree of amino acid sequence identity to the basic leucine zipper DNA-binding domain and show distinct but overlapping patterns of tissue- and stage-restricted expression. Osada et al. identified the consensus binding site for the family as RTTGCGYAAY (R = A or G, and Y = C or T) . Phosphorylation of C/EBPd may increase binding activity, whereas phosphorylation of the a and b family members may decrease binding affinity. C/EBPd is a nuclear protein that binds DNA as a dimer and can form stable heterodimers with all other C/EBP family members.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a recombinant protein corresponding to the amino terminus of mouse C/EBP.

This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody recognizes endogenous mouse and recombinant human C/EBP delta protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with C/EBPd from human sources based on 77% homology with the immunizing sequence. No cross-reactivity is observed with mouse C/EBPa or C/EBPb. Reactivity with C/EBPd from other sources has not been determined.

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, western blotting, and suitable in IHC. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 35 kDa in size corresponding to C/EBPd by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. The predicted molecular weight of mouse C/EBPd is 28.8 kDa. This antibody is capable of detecting both over-expressed and endogenous C/EBPd.
