Anti-CEBP gamma (CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), gamma, C/EBP gamma, CCAAT/enhancer-binding

CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) gamma is a family of transcription factors all contain a highly conserved, basic-leucine zipper domain at the C-terminus that is involved in dimerization and DNA binding. C/EBP family of transcription factors regulates viral and cellular CCAAT/enhancer element-mediated transcription. C/EBP family consist of several related proteins, C/EBP alpha, beta, gamma, delta, that form homodimers and/or form heterodimers with each other. C/EBP proteins contain the bZIP region, which is characterized by two motifs in the C-terminal half of the protein, a basic region involved in DNA binding and a leucine zipper motif involved in dimerization. C/EBP gamma may cooperate with Fos to bind PRE-enhancer elements. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA:1:2000, Western Blot:1ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Human Lung and A549 cell lysates, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 monthsat -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Peptide Blocking: Corresponding peptide is available for Peptide Blocking studies. See C2589-93B-P. Antibody is typically 0.5mg/ml and peptide is supplied as a 100ul pellet. When peptide is reconstituted in 200ul water, the concentration would also be 0.5mg/ml. To start, the best ratio would be 1:1 (molar excess of peptide relative to antibody when identical volumes are mixed). Mix equal volumes of peptide and antibody at the required dilution and leave at ambient temperature. It is best is to have two identical blots to be incubated with equal amount of antibody, but one with the antibody pre-adsorbed to the peptide for 20min. Then incubate and develop the two blots in parallel.
