Related Product Information for anti-CTCF antibody
CTCF belongs to the zinc finger transcription factor family, and it recognizes unusually long and remarkably divergent DNA target sequences to influence expression of many various genes. The DNA-binding domain of CTCF is composed of 11 Zn fingers including 10 that are of C2H2 class, and 1 that is of C2HC class, and they are highly conserved between vertebrate species. CTCF functions as a repressor of the c-myc gene and as a regulator of lysozyme gene expression. In addition, CTCF associates with the essential activator domain in the promotor region of the amyloid beta-protein precursor (APP) gene to activate transcription of APP. Expression of CTCF up-regulates APP expression and thereby, enhances synapse formations between primary neurons during development. CTCF is ubiquitously expressed and localized to the nucleus. During terminal differentiation, CTCF is negatively regulated by differential phosphorylation and also by decreases in CTCF mRNA and protein expression.

NCBI Description

This gene is a member of the BORIS + CTCF gene family and encodes a transcriptional regulator protein with 11 highly conserved zinc finger (ZF) domains. This nuclear protein is able to use different combinations of the ZF domains to bind different DNA target sequences and proteins. Depending upon the context of the site, the protein can bind a histone acetyltransferase (HAT)-containing complex and function as a transcriptional activator or bind a histone deacetylase (HDAC)-containing complex and function as a transcriptional repressor. If the protein is bound to a transcriptional insulator element, it can block communication between enhancers and upstream promoters, thereby regulating imprinted expression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with invasive breast cancers, prostate cancers, and Wilms' tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Uniprot Description

CTCF: a widely expressed, sequence-specific DNA-binding transcriptional regulator, insulator, and organizer of higher-order chromatin structure. Acts as a tumor suppressor. Contains 11 C2H2-type zinc fingers. Involved in promoter activation or repression, hormone-responsive gene silencing, methylation-dependent chromatin insulation, and genomic imprinting. Mediates pairing between X chromosomes and interactions between distant regulatory elements. Binds to promoters of c-myc, PLK, PIM1 and APP. A critical regulator of cell-cycle arrest and death after B cell receptor signaling in immature B cells. CTCF, together with YY1 and Tsix, form a regulated epigenetic switch for X-inactivation.

Product Notes

The CTCF ctcf (Catalog #AAA9457105) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CTCF Conjugated Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Zebrafish and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CTCF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Most Applications. Suggested Dilution: AF350 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 AF405 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 AF488 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 AF555 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 AF594 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 AF647 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 AF680 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 AF750 conjugated: most applications: 1:50-1:250 Biotin conjugated: working with enzyme-conjugated streptavidin, most applications: 1:50-1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CTCF ctcf for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CTCF, Monoclonal Antibody" 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.
