Description
Product Characteristics: This antibody is designed, produced, and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. C/EBP proteins are DNA-binding proteins that are important transcriptional activators in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses and may play an important role in the regulation of the several genes associated with activation and/or differentiation of macrophages. Members of the C/EBP transcription factor family are related by a high degree of amino acid sequence identity to the basic leucine zipper DNA-binding domain and show distinct but overlapping patterns of tissue- and stage-restricted expression. Osada et al. identified the consensus binding site for the family as RTTGCGYAAY (R = A or G, and Y = C or T). Phosphorylation of C/EBPd may increase binding activity, whereas phosphorylation of the a and b family members may decrease binding affinity. C/EBPd is a nuclear protein that binds DNA as a dimer and can form stable heterodimers with all other C/EBP family members.
Synonyms: C/EBP related protein 3 antibody, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein delta antibody, CEBP D antibody, CEBPD antibody, CELF antibody, Crp 3 antibody, Crp3 antibody, NF IL6 beta antibody, Nuclear factor NF IL6 beta antibody
Target Information: The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor which can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related protein CEBP-alpha. The encoded protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, and may be involved in the regulation of genes associated with activation and/or differentiation of macrophages. The cytogenetic location of this locus has been reported as both 8p11 and 8q11. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
