Anti-c-Jun (jun oncogene, Activator protein 1, AP1, AP-1, c-Jun, p39, Proto-oncogene c-jun, Transcri

c-Jun is a component of the transcription factor AP-1 that binds and activates transcription at TRE/AP-1 elements and appears to be a major downstream target of the SAPK/JNK signaling pathway. The transcriptional activity of c-Jun is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser63 and Ser73. Extracellular signals including growth factors, transforming oncoproteins and UV irradiation stimulate phosphorylation of c-Jun at Ser63/73 and activate c-Jun dependent transcription. Mutation of Ser63/73 renders c-Jun nonresponsive to mitogenic and stress induced, signaling pathways. The MAP kinase homologue, SAPK/JNK, binds to the N-terminal region of c-Jun and phosphorylates c-Jun at Ser63/73. In addition, the activity of SAPK/JNK is stimulated by the same signals that activate c-Jun. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
