Androgen-induced basic leucine zipper (AIBZIP)is a transcription factor. AIbZIP is a 395 aa protein with homology to cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein/activating transcription factor. It contains an NH(2)-terminal activation domain, a central bZIP domain, and a COOH-terminal transmembrane domain.
Immunoreactive AIbZIP protein has been detected in the cytoplasm of prostatic luminal epithelial cells; full-length AIbZIP-GFP fusion proteins are localized in the cytoplasm of LNCaP cells, while a truncated form of AIbZIP lacking the putative transmembrane domain was exclusively nuclear. AIbZIP is expressed at higher levels in cancerous prostate cells compared with noncancerous prostate cells.
Positive Control: Placental lysate.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
