14-3-3, sigma (SFN, Stratifin, HGNC:10773) (BSA & Azide Free)

14-3-3 proteins are 30kD polypeptides with nine closely related members in mammals. They are also found in plants and fungi. 14-3-3 proteins are a family of small, widely expressed, highly conserved cytosolic proteins which bind to and influence the activities of a diverse group of molecules involved in signal transduction, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis, including Raf, PKC, Bad, Cbl, and c-Bcr. Interactions between 14-3-3 and target proteins are strongly influenced by the phosphorylation state of 14-3-3 and the target protein. 14-3-3 proteins form homo- and heterodimeric cup-like structures that bind to discrete phosphoserine-containing motifs. In some instances, 14-3-3 proteins appear to export their binding partners from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in a phosphorylation and Crm1-dependent manner. 14-3-3 sigma shares cyclin-Cdk2 binding motifs with different cell cycle regulators, including p107, p130, p21Cip1, p27Kip1 and p57Kip2 and is associated with cyclin-Cdk complexes in vitro and in vivo. Expression of 14-3-3 sigma is higher in normal epithelial cells.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nImmunoprecipitation: 2ug/mg protein lysate. Use Protein G.\nWestern Blot: 1ug/ml for 2hrs at RT.\nImmunohistochemistry (Formalin/paraffin): 2-4ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nPositive Control:\nHT29 cells, Skin\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
