Human Protein Mdm4 (MDM4) ELISA Kit | MDM4 elisa kit
Human Protein Mdm4 (MDM4) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: MDM4 encodes a nuclear protein that contains a p53 binding domain at the N-terminus and a RING finger domain at the C-terminus, and shows structural similarity to p53-binding protein MDM2. Both proteins bind the p53 tumor suppressor protein and inhibit its activity, and have been shown to be overexpressed in a variety of human cancers. However, unlike MDM2 which degrades p53, this protein inhibits p53 by binding its transcriptional activation domain. This protein also interacts with MDM2 protein via the RING finger domain, and inhibits the latter's degradation. So this protein can reverse MDM2-targeted degradation of p53, while maintaining suppression of p53 transactivation and apoptotic functions. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for MDM4.

Uniprot Description
MDM4: Inhibits p53/TP53- and TP73/p73-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by binding its transcriptional activation domain. Inhibits degradation of MDM2. Can reverse MDM2-targeted degradation of TP53 while maintaining suppression of TP53 transactivation and apoptotic functions. Interacts with MDM2, TP53, TP73 and USP2. Found in a trimeric complex with UPB2, MDM2 and MDM4. Interacts (phosphorylated) with YWHAG; negatively regulates MDM4 activity toward TP53. Down-regulated by cisplatin. Expressed in all tissues tested with high levels in thymus. Belongs to the MDM2/MDM4 family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human MDM4 mdm4 (Catalog #AAA9715339) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715339 ELISA Kit recognizes Human MDM4. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Protein Mdm4 (MDM4), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
