Related Product Information for anti-AP-2alpha antibody
The activator protein-2 (AP-2) family of transcription factors comprises five 52-kDa isoforms (AP-2alpha, AP-2beta, AP-2 gamma, AP-2delta, and AP-2 epsilon), which share a common structure: a proline/glutamine-rich transactivation domain in the N-terminal region and a helix-span-helix domain in the C-terminal region, which mediates dimerization and site-specific DNA binding. Depending on the cellular context, the AP-2 transcription factors are individually associated either with cell differentiation and development or with cancer progression/regression. [PMID:21966377] TFAP2A (AP-2-alpha) is the only AP-2 protein required for early morphogenesis of the lens vesicle. Together with the CITED2 coactivator, stimulates the PITX2 P1 promoter transcription activation [PMID:11694877]

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that binds the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3'. The encoded protein functions as either a homodimer or as a heterodimer with similar family members. This protein activates the transcription of some genes while inhibiting the transcription of others. Defects in this gene are a cause of branchiooculofacial syndrome (BOFS). Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

Uniprot Description

Sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that interacts with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements to regulate transcription of selected genes. AP-2 factors bind to the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3' and activate genes involved in a large spectrum of important biological functions including proper eye, face, body wall, limb and neural tube development. They also suppress a number of genes including MCAM/MUC18, C/EBP alpha and MYC. AP-2-alpha is the only AP-2 protein required for early morphogenesis of the lens vesicle. Together with the CITED2 coactivator, stimulates the PITX2 P1 promoter transcription activation. Associates with chromatin to the PITX2 P1 promoter region.

Product Notes

The AP-2alpha tfap2a (Catalog #AAA8502541) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AP-2alpha Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's AP-2alpha can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:500-1:2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AP-2alpha tfap2a 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 "AP-2alpha, 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.
