General description

HuR (Hu-antigen R, ELAV-like protein 1, ELAV1) is an RNA binding protein that contains 3 RNA-binding domains. It is known to binds AU-rich elements if mRNA. It regulates gene expression by destabilizing their mRNA. It is known to be upregulated in certain cancers such as breast and gastric cancers. Some of its targets include cFos, IL-3, and BRCA1 mRNAs. HuR has also been shown to be involved in the regulation of VEFG-A and NFkB expression in certain cell types. It activation and accumulation are also linked to many energy signaling molcules such as that of the PI3K/Akt pathway and AMPK..

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-13 of human HuR.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.
