描述：

C/EBPβ(LAP)抗体识别内源性的C/EBPβ总蛋白水平，包括p38和p36 LAP，但不包括p20 LIP。此抗体与其它C/EBP亚型α, δ, γ,ε或ζ没有交叉反应。该多克隆抗体用与人类C/EBPβ蛋白中氨基末端区域附近的氨基酸序列对应的人工合成肽段免疫动物制成。该抗体使用蛋白A和肽亲和层析纯化而得。CCAAT/增强子结合蛋白（C/EBP）是一个转录因子家族，对细胞分化、终端功能和炎症反应十分关键（1）。目前已确定该家族的6个成员（C/EBPα, β, δ, γ, ε, ζ），它们分布在不同组织（1）。C/EBPβ有两种形式，38kDa的肝激活蛋白（LAP）和20kDa的肝抑制蛋白（LIP），它们可能是可变翻译的产物。38kDa LAP蛋白是转录激活因子，LIP是C/EBPβ的转录活性的抑制剂（2）。C/EBPβ不同位点的磷酸化刺激其转录活性（3-5）。大鼠C/EBPβ Ser105磷酸化是仅在大鼠序列中出现的一个独特位点，似乎对大鼠C/EBPβ的激活至关重要（6）。

Specificity / Sensitivity

C/EBPbeta (LAP) Antibody detects endogenous levels of total C/EBPbeta, the p38 and p36 LAPs, but not the p20 LIP. This antibody does not cross-react with C/EBPalpha, -delta, -gamma, -epsilon or -zeta.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino-terminal sequence of human C/EBPbeta. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) are a family of transcription factors critical for cellular differentiation, terminal functions and inflammatory response (1). Six members of the family have been characterized (C/EBPα, -β, -γ, -δ, -ε and -ζ) and are distributed in a variety of tissues (1). There are two forms of C/EBPβ, the 38 kDa liver activating protein (LAP) and the 20 kDa liver inhibitory protein (LIP) which may be products of alternative translation. The 38 kDa LAP protein is a transcriptional activator while LIP may act as an inhibitor of C/EBPβ transcriptional activity (2). Phosphorylation of C/EBPβ at distinct sites stimulates its transcriptional activity (3-5). Phosphorylation at serine 105 of rat C/EBPβ, a unique site only present in the rat sequence, seems essential for rat C/EBPβ activation (6).
