p300 is a transcriptional adapter protein, which is characterized by three cysteine- and histidine-rich regions and its C-terminus specifically binds the adenovirus E1A protein. p300 and p300-associated proteins, are components of TATA-binding protein (TBP) complexes. Protein kinase A mediated CREB phosphorylation results in the binding of CREB to a 265kD nuclear protein designated CBP (for CREB- binding protein). CBP and p300 are homologous to each other.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunoprecipitation: 2ug/mg protein lysate
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1:50 for 30min at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 10min followed by cooling at RT for 20min
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
Tonsil, Ls174T cells
Storage and Stability:
May 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 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
