Scientific Background: 14-3-3σ or stratifin is a protein that is strongly induced by gamma irradiation and other DNA-damaging agents (1). The induction of 14-3-3σ is mediated by a p53 responsive element. Exogenous introduction of 14-3-3σ into cycling cells results in a G2 cell cycle arrest (2). Knockout of 14-3-3σ in cells showed that the cells are unable to maintain cell cycle arrest after DNA damage. The 14-3-3σ -/- cells die as they enter mitosis. This process is associated with a failure of the 14-3-3σ -deficient cells to sequester the proteins that initiate mitosis and prevent them from entering the nucleus. Thus, 14-3-3σ plays an important role in maintaining the G2 checkpoint in cells and preventing mitotic death.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Function: Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. When bound to KRT17, regulates protein synthesis and epithelial cell growth by stimulating Akt/mTOR pathway
By similarity.p53-regulated inhibitor of G2/M progression.
Subunit structure: Homodimer. Interacts with KRT17 and SAMSN1

The 14-3-3 sigma sfn (Catalog #AAA515433) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is GST tag!!Expression System||E.coli!!Source Note||Recombinant full-length human 14-3-3theta was expressed in E. coli cells. AAA Biotech's 14-3-3 sigma can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the 14-3-3 sigma sfn 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 "14-3-3 sigma, Recombinant Protein" 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
