The C/EBP-beta ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of C/EBP-beta in various samples. C/EBP-beta is another term for the CEBPB gene, which encodes the protein, CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta in humans. It has been reported that C/EBP-beta plays a role in brown fat cell differentiation and the cellular response to lipopolysaccharides, among other functions. Structurally, the CEBPB protein is described to be 345 amino acid residues in length and 36.1 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed at low levels in the lung, kidney and spleen. This protein is known to be methylated, O-glycosylated, ubiquitinated, sumoylated, acetylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include IL6DBP and NF-IL6.
