Anti-HO-1, clone 1F12-A6

Anti-HO-1 Antibody was purified by Protein G chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with HO-1 from Human, Mouse, Bovine, Canine, Guinea pig, Hamster, Monkey, Pig, Rabbit, and Rat based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Does not cross-react with HO-2. Cross-reactivity with HO-1 from other sources has not been determined. Oxidative Stress research. Protein function: Transcription factor involved in the induction of oxygen regulated genes. Binds to core DNA sequence 5'-[AG]CGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters. Regulates the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and seems to be implicated in the development of blood vessels and the tubular system of lung. May also play a role in the formation of the endothelium that gives rise to the blood brain barrier. Potent activator of the Tie-2 tyrosine kinase expression. Activation seems to require recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBPB and probably EP300. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX seems to activate CTAD.
