GADD45 alpha, beta and epsilon are an evolutionarily conserved, homologous family of nuclear proteins that function as stress sensors for cellular physiological and environmental damage. GADD45 proteins are required for the activation of the G2/M checkpoint induced by UV radiation or alkylating agents (1). GADD45-induced G2/M checkpoint is regulated through inactivation of Cdc2-cyclin B1 kinase (2). GADD45 forms a complex with p21 and Cdc2, and may serve as core for interaction with other cell cycle regulators (3,4).
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000. Incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1%
Tween-20 at 4 degrees C with gentle shaking, overnight.
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, aliquot and 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.
