Anti-14-3-3 sigma

0.5 mg/ml with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. 14-3-3 proteins are regulators of a diverse group of signaling proteins, including kinases, phosphatases, and transmembrane receptors, and have roles in a wide range of physiological processes including transcription, intracellular signaling, cell cycle control and apoptosis. There are seven 14-3-3 proteins in most mammals: beta, gamma epsilon, zeta, eta, sigma and tau. 14-3-3 sigma, also called Stratifin, is a product of the SFN gene. It is a tumor suppressor gene inactivated via DNA methylation. Reduced or no expression of 14-3-3 sigma is seen in various carcinoma including skin, breast and prostate, suggesting that 14-3-3 gene silencing may be involved in tumor progression. Protein function: Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. When bound to KRT17, regulates protein synthesis and epithelial cell growth by stimulating Akt/mTOR pathway. May also regulate MDM2 autoubiquitination and degradation and thereby activate p53/TP53.
