JUN Mouse anti-Human, Mouse, Rat, Clone: 1G6B11, Proteintech

Description

This antibody is raised against a region of human JUN. Both phosphorylated (p-c-Jun) and unphosphorylated forms of c-Jun, with sizes of 42-45 kDa and 36-39 kDa, respectively are obtain in some experiments.

Fos and Jun dimerize to form Activator Protein-1 (AP-1), a transcriptional factor that binds to the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) response element (TRE) of several cellular and viral genes including human collagenase, metallothionein IIa, stromelysin, interleukin 2, SV40 and polyoma. Fos and Jun contain the ′leucine-zipper′ motif that allows for dimerization and an adjacent basic domain required for biological activity. The functionally active form of Fos is in a heterodimer with a member of the Jun family. While Jun family members can form functional homodimers, studies indicate that Fos family members do not self-associate and therefore do not bind DNA on their own. The various dimers differ in their ability to transactivate AP-1 dependent genes.
