Product details:
Human Egr1 ELISA Kit (ab277410) is an
in-vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human Egr1 in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human Egr1 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Human Egr1 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed, and biotinylated anti-Human Egr1 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Human Egr1 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Egr1 also known as early growth response protein 1 is a zinc-finger transcription factor with a molecular weight of approximately 60 kDa. The Egr1 protein plays a significant role in gene expression regulation by binding to specific DNA sequences. This target is highly expressed in a variety of tissues including the brain heart and kidneys. In these tissues Egr1 regulates several cellular processes by activating or repressing target genes. Also Egr1 has monoclonal antibodies available for research purposes providing tools for detailed study in specific cellular contexts.
Biological function summary
Egr1 acts as an immediate-early response gene. It gets rapidly upregulated in response to growth factors stress signals and other extracellular stimuli. As part of the cellular signaling networks Egr1 interacts with other transcription factors to control the expression of genes involved in cell differentiation proliferation and apoptosis. It does not typically form part of a protein complex but may work in concert with other signaling molecules to influence diverse cellular pathways and maintain cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
Egr1 is involved in the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways both key to regulating cellular growth and survival. It functions as a bridging factor that links extracellular signals to transcriptional changes within the nucleus. In the MAPK/ERK pathway Egr1 works alongside proteins like Ras and MEK to promote early gene transcription in response to mitogenic signals. In the PI3K/AKT pathway Egr1 can influence downstream targets reinforcing the pathway's mechanisms in determining cell fate.
Egr1 is linked to cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Abnormal Egr1 expression and activity have been observed in various cancers where it can act as an oncogene or tumor suppressor depending on the context. Abnormal interactions with proteins such as p53 may contribute to tumorigenesis. In cardiovascular diseases Egr1 influences pathological states by regulating genes associated with inflammation and vascular remodeling. The protein’s dysregulation plays a part in atherosclerosis connecting with inflammatory cytokines to promote disease progression.
