Biolegend, 600751, Purified anti-c-Fos Antibody, 25μg

The c-Fos protein, or FBJ murine viral (v-Fos) oncogene homolog, is a member of the Fos family of transcription factors. C-Fos forms heterodimers with proteins of the Jun family of transcription factors to form the AP-1 (Activator Protein-1) complex, which regulates critical cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. C-Fos has been demonstrated to play a critical role in angiogenesis, bone development, and in the progression of cancer. C-Fos is also often used as an indirect marker of neuronal activity.
25μg
Verified Reactivity: Human
Antibody Type: Monoclonal
Host Species: Mouse
Immunogen: Purified recombinant human FOS protein fragments
Formulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide
Preparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration: 0.5 mg/mL
Storage & Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.
Application: ICC - Quality tested ICFC - Verified
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunocytochemistry. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 5 - 10 μg/mL is recommended. For intraceullar flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes: For ICC we recommend PFA-MeoH fixation/permeabilization. We do not recommend methanol-only and PFA+ Triton X-100 fixation/permeabilization due to dim signal. For ICFC, we recommend fixation/permeabilization with the True-Phos™ Perm Buffer. Cytokine method was tried and failed due to no signal.
RRID: AB_2910472 (BioLegend Cat. No. 600751) AB_2910472 (BioLegend Cat. No. 600752)
Structure: c-Fos is a 330 amino acid protein with a predicted molecular weight of 41 kD.
Distribution: Expressed in the nucleus of many tissues/cells including placenta, brain, thyroid, central nervous system, lung, endometrium, and B lymphocytes
Function: FOS and JUN oncoproteins form dimeric complexes that stimulate transcription of genes containing AP-1 regulatory elements. FOS was the first transcription factor identified to have a critical function in the development of cells required for skeletal formation.
Interaction: Interacts with a variety of proteins including c-Jun, TFIID, NCOA2, NFAT1, CHOP, ELK1, SRC1, and ETS1
