Anti-phospho-c-Jun (Ser63) (BSA, azide and glycerol free)

c-Jun is a component of the transcription factor AP-1, which binds and activates transcription at TRE/AP-1 elements. The transcriptional activity of c- Jun is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser63 and Ser73 (1,2). 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 stressinduced 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 (3,4). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 1:100, Western Blot: 1:1000, incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight., Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1:50, Immunocytochemistry (ABC): 1:1000, 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, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and 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.
