GADD 153 was described as a growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene that encodes a C/EBP- related nuclear protein. GADD153 expression is induced by a variety of cellular stresses, including nutrient deprivation and metabolic perturbations. GADD153 functions to block cells in G1 to S phase in cell cycle progression and acts by dimerizing with other C/EBP proteins to direct GADD153 dimers away from "classical" C/EBP binding sites, recognizing unique "non-classical" sites instead.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml for 2hr, RT
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1:50 for 10min 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:
MCF-7 cells, breast carcinoma
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 at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
