General description
This Anti-c-Fos (Ab-2) (4-17) Rabbit pAb is validated for use in Frozen sections, Immunoblotting, IF, IP, Paraffin sections, for the detection of c-Fos (Ab-2) (4-17).
Protein A purified rabbit polyclonal antibody. Recognizes v-fos and ~50-62 kDa c-fos proteins.
The proto-oncogene fos has been implicated in cell growth, differentiation and development. Fos is induced by a large number of stimuli including mitogens, differentiation-specific agents, pharmacological agents, etc. Induction of the 62,000 dalton fos protein is rapid but transient. The fos protein is associated with a 39,000 dalton protein which has been identified as the protein product of the jun proto-oncogene (c-jun). The fos/jun protein complex binds specifically to a sequence element in DNA referred to as the AP-1 binding site.
Recognizes the ~50-62 kDa c-Fos protein in HepG2, NIH3T3, and MCF-7 cells.
Immunogen
a synthetic peptide (SGFNADYEASSSRC) (Cat. No. PP10) corresponding to amino acids 4-17 of human c-Fos

Other Notes
For gel shift assays, use Cat. No. PC05L resuspended in 100 µl of buffer. The immunogen, c-fos (Peptide-2), Cat. No. PP10, is also available for competition studies (see Murphy, et al. below). Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
