The transcription factor CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein beta (C/EBPβ, also known as NFIL6) is a highly conserved B-Zip family member. C/EBPβ regulates multiple genes involved in hepatic function, immune function and adipogenesis, and its functions are generally distinct from those of other C/EBP family members (alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon). C/EBPβ is present in cells as three alternate translation products: two transcription activating forms known as LAP1 and LAP2 (~35 and 32 kDa in rodents, ~43 kDa and 40 kDa in humans) and a truncated inhibitory form known as LIP (~20 kDa) which lacks the N-terminal transcription activation domain. C/EBP β is phosphorylated at multiple sites which are determinants of some of its activities (e.g. activation of c-fos, adipogenesis). A recent report shows that it is acetylated at Lys215/216, and others report that it can be sumoylated. C/EBPβ is also acetylated at Lys39 in the transcription activation domain, and mutation of Lys39 impairs its ability to activate transcription of multiple genes, including several involved in adipogenesis.

Please note that this product will not be available for sale after March 15, 2015. Please select one of the other antibodies against this target.
Key Applications
Flow Cytometry
Western Blotting
Immunoprecipitation
Application Notes
Flow Cytometry: A 1:20 dilution of a previous lot was used in flow cytometry.
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a previous lot was used in IP.
Biological Information
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in N-terminus of rat full-length C/EBPβ.
Epitope
N-terminus
Clone
E298
Host
Rabbit
Specificity
The antibody only recognizes the LAP form of C/EBPβ.
FUNCTION:Important transcriptional activator in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. Specifically binds to an IL-1 response element in the IL-6 gene. NF-IL6 also binds to regulatory regions of several acute-phase and cytokines genes. It probably plays a role in the regulation of acute-phase reaction, inflammation and hemopoiesis. The consensus recognition site is 5'-T[TG]NNGNAA[TG]-3'. SUBUNIT STRUCTURE:Binds DNA as a dimer and can form stable heterodimers with C/EBP alpha, delta and gamma. Interacts with TRIM28 and PTGES2 By similarity. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:Nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY:Expressed at low levels in the lung, kidney and spleen. PTM:Sumoylated by polymeric chains of SUMO2 or SUMO3. SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES:Belongs to the bZIP family. C/EBP subfamily.
Contains 1 bZIP domain.
Product Usage Statements
Quality Assurance
Evaluated by Western Blot on PC-12 cell lysates.
Western Blot Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution of this antibody was used to detect C/EBPβ in PC-12 cell lysate.
Usage Statement
Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
Storage and Shipping Information
Storage Conditions
Stable for 1 year at -20ºC 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.
