| Antigen: |
Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 154-167 of human MDM2 conjugated to KLH |
| Other Names: |

| Accession: |
Q00987 MDM2_HUMAN; |
| Description: |
MDM2 is a nuclear phosphoprotein that binds and inhibits transactivation by p53 as part of an autoregulatory negative feedback loop. Overexpression of MDM2 can result in excessive inactivation of p53 thereby diminishing its tumor suppressor function. MDM2 functions as a ubiquitin ligase E3 permitting the nuclear export of p53 and its proteasome-mediated proteolysis. MDM2 also affects the cell cycle, apoptosis and tumorigenesis through interactions with other proteins such as p73, ARF(P14), retinoblastoma 1 and ribosomal protein L5. At least 11 isoforms of MDM2 are produced by alternative splicing. |
| Produced in: |
Mouse |
| Purity: |
IgG |
| Applications: |
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/ml is recommended for WB. Human MDM2 (isoform MDM2) has a predicted length of 491 residues and MW of 55 kDa. A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/ml is recommended to detect MDM2 in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues as well as formalin/acetone fixed frozen tissues. |
| Specificity: |
The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. |
| Cross-reactivity: |
Human; mouse; rat; |
| Blast it: |
If you wish to use this product in a species other than those specified here and want to determine the amino acid sequence homology between the immunogen and the corresponding protein in that species, simply copy the amino acid sequence for this immunogen and test it on the BLAST database that you can access through the link below. Please note that antibodies raised against synthetic peptides are quite often very specific for that peptide. What this means in practise is that a single amino acid difference may be enough to restrict the specificity to a particular molecule. The BLAST database can also be used to compare any amino acid sequence between species and between protein. The full amino acid sequence of the target protein can be found by following the link in the Accession field. You can then search any amino acid sequence in the target protein using the BLAST database. When selecting a sequence to search, please choose carefully, as the sequence you choose may be a precursor rather than the mature protein for example. |
| Form: |
Lyophilized from 1.2% sodium acetate, 2mg BSA, 0.2mg NaN3 |
| Reconstitution: |
Reconstitute in 1 ml of PBS (pH 7.4) to achieve an antibody concentration of 100 µg/ml. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. |
