CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) are a family of transcription factors that are critical for cellular differentiation, terminal functions and inflammatory response (1).
Six members of the family have been characterized (C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, C/EBP delta, C/EBP epsilon, C/EBP gamma and C/EBP zeta) and are distributed in a variety of tissues (1).
Translation from alternative start codons results in three isoforms of C/EBP beta.
Two of them are transcriptional activators, also known as p35 and p32 LAPs (liver activating proteins).
The smaller isoform, p20 LIP (liver inhibitory protein), however, is a transcriptional inhibitor (2).
Phosphorylation of C/EBP beta at distinct sites stimulates its transcriptional activity (3–5).
Phosphorylation at serine 105 of rat C/EBP beta, a unique site only present in the rat sequence, seems essential for rat C/EBP beta activation (6).

仕様
Size:100ul
Host:rabbit
Source Antibody:rat
Grade:Affinity Purified
Purity:Purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Form:Supplied as a liquid in 10mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150mM sodium chloride, 0.1mg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol. No preservative added.
Specificity:Recognizes endogenous levels of rat C/EBP• protein (phosphorylation-state independent). Does not cross-react with other C/EBP family members such as C/EBPalpha, -delta, -gamma, -epsilon or -zeta. It also does not recognize the p20 LIP rat C/EBP• isoform. Species Crossreactivity: Expected to crossreact with mouse according to sequence similarity.
Isotype:IgG
Calc Applications Abbrev:E WB
Calc Crossreactivity:Rt
Immunogen:Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser105 of rat C/EBP beta.
