Anti-PRG3 (p53 Responsive Gene 3, Apoptosis Inducing Factor (AIF) Homologous Mitochondrion Associate

The p53 tumor suppressor protein induces cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to cellular stresses. PRG3 (p53-responsive gene 3), is induced specifically under p53-dependent apoptotic conditions in human colon cancer cells. PRG3 has significant homology to bacterial oxidoreductases and the apoptosis-inducing factor, AIF. Unlike AIF, PRG3 localizes in the cytoplasm and its ectopic expression induces apoptosis. The PRG3 gene is thus a novel p53 target gene in a p53-dependent apoptosis pathway. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. 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 Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -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.
