Product datasheet Anti-14-3-3 beta antibody [4E1] ab12341 1 References Overview Product name Anti-14-3-3 beta antibody [4E1] Description Mouse monoclonal [4E1] to 14-3-3 beta Tested applications WB, IP, ELISA Species reactivity Reacts with: Mouse, Rat Immunogen Recombinant full length protein (Rat). Positive control Mouse brain tissue extract. General notes 14-3-3 proteins are highly conserved proteins which play a role in both signal transduction and progression through the cell cycle by binding to and regulating several different proteins. 14-3-3 proteins activate tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases and protein kinase C. They mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. There are at least 7 mammalian isoforms: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, and eta. An eighth subtype, termed theta has been found in rat brain. The 14-3-3 proteins exists in vitro and in vivo as either homo- or heterodimers which interact via their N-terminal domains and are subject to phosphorylation by protein kinase C. 14-3-3 proteins are localized in the cytoplasma of neurons in the cerebral cortex and are axonally transported to the nerve terminals. They may be present at lower levels in various other eukaryotic tissues. Northern blot analysis has shown expression of the eta chain in cultured cell lines derived from various tumors.

Clonality Monoclonal Clone number 4E1 Isotype IgG2b Light chain type kappa Applications Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab12341 in the following tested applications. The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Application Abreviews Notes WB Use a concentration of 1 - 5 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 29 kDa. IP Use a concentration of 5 - 10 µg/ml. ELISA Use at an assay dependent concentration. PubMed: 16367866Use at 1:5000 Dilution Target Function Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. Negative regulator of osteogenesis. Sequence similarities Belongs to the 14-3-3 family. Post-translational modifications The alpha, brain-specific form differs from the beta form in being phosphorylated. Isoform Short contains a N-acetylmethionine at position 1. Cellular localization Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.
