14-3-3 proteins are a family of small, widely expressed, highly conserved cytosolic proteins. 14-3-3 proteins bind to and influence the activities of a diverse group of molecules involved in signal transduction, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis including Raf, PKC, Bad, Cbl, and c-Bcr. Interactions between 14-3-3 and target proteins are strongly influenced by the phosphorylation state of 14-3-3 and the target protein. 14-3-3 expression is particularly high in certain neural tissues and studies in Drosophila have established a role for 14-3-3 proteins in nervous system development and function. Recently, a dimeric 14-3-3 protein was determined to be an essential cofactor for Raf kinase activity.

Suitable for use in FLISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
