A0857-25C	AIBZIP (CREB3L4, Cyclic AMP-responsive Element-binding Protein 3-like Protein 4, cAMP-responsive Element-binding Protein 3-like Protein 4, Androgen-induced Basic Leucine Zipper Protein, AIbZIP, Attaching to CRE-like 1, ATCE1, Cyclic AMP-responsive Element

Description:
Androgen-induced basic leucine zipper (AIBZIP)is a transcription factor. AIbZIP is a 395aa protein with homology to cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein/activating transcription factor. It contains an NH(2)-terminal activation domain, a central bZIP domain, and a COOH-terminal transmembrane domain. Immunoreactive AIbZIP protein has been detected in the cytoplasm of prostatic luminal epithelial cells; full-length AIbZIP-GFP fusion proteins are localized in the cytoplasm of LNCaP cells, while a truncated form of AIbZIP lacking the putative transmembrane domain was exclusively nuclear. AIbZIP is expressed at higher levels in cancerous prostate cells compared with noncancerous prostate cells.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:32,000
Western Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml, observed in human placenta lysate on ~50kD bands
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 2-4ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
