FAM120A (Constitutive Coactivator of PPAR-gamma-like Protein 1, Oxidative Stress-associated Src Activator, Protein FAM120A, C9orf10, KIAA0183, OSSA, DNAPTP5, KIAA0183, MGC111527, MGC133257)

FAM120A (C9orf10) is a member of the constitutive coactivator of PPAR gamma family and the gene was mapped to chromosome 9q22.31. FAM120A was recently detected within the Pur-alpha-containing mRNA-protein complex in the brain. As a novel RNA-binding protein, FAM120A is a critical component of the oxidative stress-induced survival signaling. It may participate in mRNA transport in the cytoplasm. FAM120A activates src family kinases and acts as a scaffolding protein enabling src family kinases to phosphorylate and activate PI3-kinase. FAM120A protects cells from apoptosis through activation of SRKs in response to oxidative stress. Blocking of the survival signaling mediated by FAM120A, which sensitizes the cancer cells to stress-induced apoptosis, may be a novel therapeutic approach for gastric scirrhous carcinoma cells. This antibody will not cross-reacti with FAM120B / PGCC1.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml\nImmunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 2.5ug/ml\nImmunofluorescence: 20ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nPositive Control:\nSK-N-SH Cell Lysate\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.
