General description

Tumor suppressor ARF (UniProt Q8N726; also known as Alternative reading frame, ARF, Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A, p14ARF, p19ARF) is encoded by the CDKN2A (also known as CDKN2, MLM) gene (Gene ID 1029) in human. p14ARF acts as a tumor suppressor and a key regulator of cellular proliferation that is frequently inactivated in human cancers. It binds to MDM2 and blocks its oncogenic action by inhibiting MDM2-induced degradation of p53. Reported to form a ternary complex with p120(E4F) and p53 that enhances p14ARF-induced G2 cell cycle arrest in a p53-dependent manner. However, it can also induce G2 arrest and apoptosis in a p-53-independent manner by preventing the activation of cyclin B1/CDC2 complexes. Binds to E2F1 and MYC and blocks their transcriptional activator activity without affecting MYC transcriptional repression. Human p14ARF is shown to promote the proteasomal degradation of Melanoma antigen-A11 (MAGE-A11) independent of HDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase or lysine ubiquitination. It inhibits the ability of MAGE-A11 to stabilize and stimulate androgen receptor (AR) or E2F1 transcriptional activity. Ref.: Minges, JT et al. (2015). J. Biol. Chem. 290, 25174-25187.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminus

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human p14ARF (p19ARF)/smARF C-terminal end sequence.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to lot specific datasheet.

Physical form

Affinity purified.

Purified rabbit polyclonal antibody in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in PC3 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution of this antibody detected p14ARF (p19ARF) in 10 µg of PC3 human prostate cancer cell lysate.

Specificity

This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets the C-terminal end sequence present in both ARF spliced isoforms, p14ARF (p19ARF) and smARF, reported by UniProt (Q8N726). This polyclonal antibody does not detect the INK4 spliced isoforms (UniProt P42771) also encoded by the CDKN2A gene.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.
