| Presentation | The purified immunoglobulin is presented at a concentration of 100μg/ml in phosphate buffered saline containing 10mM sodium azide. We recommend that each laboratory determine an optimum working titre for use in its particular application. |
| Quality Level | MQ100 |
| Applications | |
|---|---|
| Application | Anti-c-Fos Antibody is a Sheep Polyclonal Antibody for detection of c-Fos also known as G0/G1 Switch Regulatory Protein 7 & has been validated in WB, ICC. |
| Key Applications |
|
| Application Notes | Immunoblotting: Detergent lysates were produced from HeLa and HL-60 cells stimulated to express c-fos protein. CBL 440 detects a band at 55-60 kDa on immunoblots of stimulated HeLa and HL-60 lysates. Immunocytochemistry: CBL 440 has been used in immunocytochemistry of vibratome sections of rat brains following either surgical damage to one of the hemispheres (where CBL 440 detects c-fos and c-fos related proteins in the nuclei of neurons in the damaged hemisphere) or kainic acid treatment. Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user. |

|---|---|
| Immunogen | Synthetic peptide: Met-Phe-Ser-Gly-Phe-Asn-Ala-Asp-Tyr-Glu-Ala-Ser-Ser-Ser-Arg-Cys, selected from a conserved region of mouse and human c-fos. |
| Host | Sheep |
| Specificity | c-fos is a 55 kDa nuclear associated protein that is rapidly induced in HL60, HeLa and NIH3T3 cells by a variety of agents. c-fos is also induced in neuronal tissue following drug induced seizures. KNOWN SPECIES CROSS REACTIVITY: Known to cross-react with rat |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | The Fos gene family consists of 4 members: FOS, FOSB, FOSL1, and FOSL2. These genes encode leucine zipper proteins that can dimerize with proteins of the JUN family, thereby forming the transcription factor complex AP-1. As such, the FOS proteins have been implicated as regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. In some cases, expression of the FOS gene has also been associated with apoptotic cell death. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P01100 # Nuclear phosphoprotein which forms a tight but non- covalently linked complex with the JUN/AP-1 transcription factor. In the heterodimer, c-fos and JUN/AP-1 basic regions each seems to interact with symmetrical DNA half sites. Has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. It is thought to have an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. SIZE: 380 amino acids; 40695 Da SUBUNIT: Heterodimer with JUN. Interacts with DSIPI; this interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA. Interacts with MAFB (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P01100 ## Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily. & Contains 1 bZIP domain. |
