Clock is an essential regulator of circadian rhythms. Clock is a basic helix-loop-helix-PAS transcription factor that heterodimerizes with BMAL1. Together these transcription factors bind to E box elements (CACGTG) within the promoter of circadian genes (period1 and 2) stimulating their transcription. BMAL dimerization is necessary for Clock’s nuclear translocation, E box dependent transcription, phosphorylation, and degradation.
Applications
Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blotting. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blotting: 0.5ug/mL 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 40-50% glycerol, 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.
