KLF4 belong to the Kruppel like factors/Zinc fingers C2H2-type family. This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the Kruppel family of transcription factors. KLF4 can act both as activator and as repressor. It can bind the 5-CACCC-3 core sequence, the promoter region of its own gene, and can activate its own transcription. KLF4 regulates the expression of key transcription factors during embryonic development, playing an important role in maintaining embryonic stem cells, and in preventing their differentiation. This protein is required for normal development of the barrier function of skin postnatal, maintenance of the ocular surface, function in skeletal and kidney development, and thought to control the G1-to-S transition of the cell cycle following DNA damage by mediating the tumor suppressor gene p53. KLF4 may be associated with diseases such as Venous Hemangioma, Skin Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and pediatric lymphoma. Anti-KLF4 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in Peptide hormone metabolism, Stem Cell Differentiation Pathway Research, Wnt/Notch Pathway Research, and Cancer Research.

HbS antibodies detect the E6V mutant in the hemoglobin beta subunit. Functional adult hemoglobin (Hb) is a hetero tetramer composed of 2 alpha and 2 beta subunits (α2β2). Common isoform variants of hemoglobin include HbA, HbS, HbC, HbF, and HbA2. Hemoglobin S is the predominant hemoglobin in people with sickle cell disease. The alpha chain is normal. The disease-producing mutation exists in the beta chain, giving the molecule the structure, α2βS2. People who have one sickle mutant gene and one normal beta gene have sickle cell trait which is benign. Globin gene mutations affect the structure and expression levels of Hb. Sickle cell disease and the more benign sickle cell trait are observed in more than 100 million people globally. Perhaps the most significant mutation is the E6V in the beta subunit and the cause of SCD, but other relevant isoforms of Hb are observed. HbS antibody does not react to other forms of Hb. This antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Cardiovascular and developmental biology research.

The RA3-6B2 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with a 220 kDa exon A-restricted epitope on the extracellular domain of mouse CD45 glycoprotein. CD45R/B220 is expressed on all the development stages of B cells, and at a low level on plasma cells and a subset of memory B cells. Low levels of CD45R/B220 are also expressed by some activated T lymphocytes, natural killer cell progenitors in the bone marrow, lymphokine activated killer cells (LAK), T lymphocytes of lpr/lpr mutant mouse, apoptotic T cells of mice injected with bacterial superantigens, and macrophage progenitors in fetal liver.The CD45 molecule is a member of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) family, because its intracellular region contains two PTP domains. The extracellular region’s variability is caused by different levels of glycosylation, and the splicing of the 4, 5, and 6 exons. The isoforms found in the mouse strains depend on the activation state, maturation stage and cell type, and are very important in B and T lymphocytes antigen receptor signal transduction.The RA3-6B2 antibody inhibits in vivo B lymphocytes responses and enhances isotype switching during in vitro B lymphocyte responses.

Anti-HSF1 Antibody was designed, produced, and validated as part of the Joy Cappel Young Investigator Award (JCYIA). Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is a highly conserved transcription factor that coordinates stress-induced transcription and directs versatile physiological processes in eukaryotes. Upon stress, HSF1 is the key transcriptional activator of chaperones, co-chaperones and ubiquitin, and also coordinates the expression of many transcriptional and translational regulators, signaling molecules and mitotic determinants. HSF1 is involved in balancing core cellular processes during stress and enables their rapid re-establishment once conditions suitable for proliferation have been restored. Importantly, HSF1 controls a distinct set of target genes in cell stress, development and cancer progression. The central role of HSF1 in diverse cellular functions is reflected in pathologies, such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, where an imbalance in HSF1 activity facilitates disease onset. The ability of cancer cells to harness HSF1 for metastatic progression highlights the plasticity of HSF1 in rewiring transcription and coordinating cellular processes. Anti-HSF1 antibody is thus ideal for investigators involved in cancer research and neurodegenerative diseases.

This Antibody targets Estrogen Receptor in IF, IHC (P), IP, and WB applications and shows reactivity with mouse, Rabbit, Rat, Bovine, Human, Ovine, and Porcine samples. The immunogen is a synthetic peptide from the N-terminus of human estrogen receptor, alpha protein. Estrogen Receptors (ER) are members of the steroid family of nuclear receptors. There are two different forms of the estrogen receptor, alpha and beta, encoded by separate genes (ESR1 and ESR2, respectively). Each protein contains distinct functional domains required for transcriptional activation, binding to estrogen response elements (ERE) in DNA, constitutive dimerization, binding to heat shock proteins, and ligand recognition. ER is a ligand-activated transcription factor, that when bound to estrogen hormone, induces a conformational change that allows dimerization and binding to EREs. When bound to DNA, ER can positively or negatively regulate gene transcription through the recruitment of coactivator or corepressor proteins. There are several different isoforms of both ER alpha and ER beta. ER is an important regulator of growth and differentiation in the mammary gland. The presence of ER in breast tumors indicates an increased likelihood of response to anti-estrogen (e. g. tamoxifen) therapy.

The PC61.5 antibody is specific for mouse CD25, a 55 kDa surface protein also known as the Interleukin-2 Receptor alpha chain, or IL-2R alpha. CD25 may bind IL-2 by itself, although with low affinity and without induction of cell signaling. CD25 is also expressed within a high-affinity complex, along with the IL-2R beta chain (CD122) and the common gamma chain (CD132), to form a signaling receptor complex. Expression of CD25 varies during developmental stages of T and B cells, is induced on activated mature T and B cells, and is present on subsets of dendritic cells. CD25 signaling as part of the IL-2 receptor complex triggers T cell activation and proliferation, as well as modulating the differentiation and function of Th17 cells, T regulatory (Treg) cells, and dendritic cells. The PC61.5 antibody is used as a marker for T cells, B cells and dendritic cell subsets. Expression of CD25, CD4 and the transcription factor Foxp3 is regarded as a phenotypic signature for Treg cells. As such, this antibody is widely used to distinguish Treg cells from na�ve or conventional T cells which are CD25-. This clone has also been reported for depletion of Treg cells in vivo (use format suitable for functional assays).

DMAP1 is a subunit of several, distinct complexes involved in the repression or activation of transcription. The encoded protein can independently repress transcription and is targeted to replication foci throughout S phase by interacting directly with the N-terminus of DNA methyltransferase 1. During late S phase, histone deacetylase 2 is added to this complex, providing a means to deacetylate histones in transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin following replication. The encoded protein is also a component of the nucleosome acetyltransferase of H4 complex and interacts with the transcriptional corepressor tumor susceptibility gene 101 and the pro-apoptotic death-associated protein 6, among others. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described.This gene encodes a subunit of several, distinct complexes involved in the repression or activation of transcription.

Three classes of protein carboxyl methyltransferases, distinguished by their methyl-acceptor substrate specificity, have been found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The type II enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the free carboxyl groups of D-aspartyl and L-isoaspartyl residues. These methyl-accepting residues result from the spontaneous deamidation, isomerization, and racemization of normal L-aspartyl and L-asparaginyl residues and represent sites of covalent damage to aging proteins PCMT1 (EC 2.1.1.77) is a protein repair enzyme that initiates the conversion of abnormal D-aspartyl and L-isoaspartyl residues to the normal L-aspartyl form.Three classes of protein carboxyl methyltransferases, distinguished by their methyl-acceptor substrate specificity, have been found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. MRPS15 is a 28S subunit protein that belongs to the ribosomal protein S15P family. The protein is more than two times the size of its E. coli counterpart, with the 12S rRNA binding sites conserved. Between human and mouse, the protein is the least conserved among small subunit ribosomal proteins.Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein that belongs to the ribosomal protein S15P family. The encoded protein is more than two times the size of its E. coli counterpart, with the 12S rRNA binding sites conserved. Between human and mouse, the encoded protein is the least conserved among small subunit ribosomal proteins. Pseudogenes corresponding to this gene are found on chromosomes 15q and 19q.

These proteins have been implicated in such diverse functions as DNA replication, gene transcription, cell cycle progression and apoptosis. The encoded protein was isolated by virtue of its binding to an upstream element of the alpha2 (I) collagen promoter. The observation that this protein localizes mostly in the cytoplasm suggests that it may be involved in a cytoplasmic function such as controlling RNA metabolism, rather than transcription. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

The zona pellucida is an extracellular matrix that surrounds the oocyte and early embryo. It is composed primarily of three or four glycoproteins with various functions during fertilization and preimplantation development. ZP2 is a structural component of the zona pellucida and functions in secondary binding and penetration of acrosome-reacted spermatozoa. The nascent protein contains a N-terminal signal peptide sequence, a conserved ZP domain, a consensus furin cleavage site, and a C-terminal transmembrane domain. It is hypothesized that furin cleavage results in release of the mature protein from the plasma membrane for subsequent incorporation into the zona pellucida matrix. However, the requirement for furin cleavage in this process remains controversial based on mouse studies.The zona pellucida is an extracellular matrix that surrounds the oocyte and early embryo.

The Anti-Glut2 antibody was designed, produced, and validated as part of the Joy Cappel Young Investigator Award (JCYIA). The glucose transporter GLUT2 is a transmembrane carrier protein that allows protein facilitated glucose movement across cell membranes. GLUT2 is expressed in the plasma membranes of the liver, intestine, renal tubular cells, pancreatic islet beta cells, as well as in the portal and hypothalamic areas. Due to its low affinity and high capacity, GLUT2 transports dietary sugars, glucose, galactose and fructose in high concentrations, displaying large bidirectional fluxes in and out of cells. In pancreatic beta cells, GLUT2 is essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. GLUT2 expression is necessary for the physiological control of glucose-sensitive genes, and its inactivation in the liver leads to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. In the nervous system, GLUT2-dependent glucose sensing regulates feeding, thermoregulation and pancreatic islet cell mass and function, as well as sympathetic and parasympathetic activities. In humans, inactivating mutations in GLUT2 cause Fanconi–Bickel syndrome, which is characterized by hepatomegaly and kidney disease. Anti-Glut2 is ideal for researchers interested in studying glucose transport mediated by Glut2 protein in the fields of diabetes, obesity, metabolism, and neuroscience research.

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(LCN2) is a secreted protein and belongs to the calycin superfamily. This protein is released from injured tubular cells after various damaging stimuli, is already known by nephrologists as one of the most promising biomarkers of incoming Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Recent evidence also suggests its role as a biomarker in a variety of other renal and non-renal conditions. Moreover, recent studies seem to suggest a potential involvement of this factor also in the genesis and progression of chronic kidney diseases. NGAL is the first known mammalian protein which specifically binds organic molecules called siderophores, which are high-affinity iron chelators. NGAL, first known as an antibacterial factor of natural immunity, and an acute phase protein, is currently one of the most interesting and enigmatic proteins involved in the process of tumor development. acting as an intracellular iron carrier and protecting MMP9 from proteolytic degradation, NGAL has a clear pro-tumoral effect, as has already been observed in different tumors (e.g. breast, stomach, oesophagus, brain) in humans. In thyroid carcinomas, NGAL is strongly induced by NF-kB, an important factor involved both in tumor growth and in the link between chronic inflammation and neoplastic development. Thus, Lipocalin-2 (LCN2/NGAL) has been implicated in a variety of processes including cell differentiation, proliferation, survival and morphogenesis.
