Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nCCAAT\/enhancer-binding proteins (C\/EBPs) are a family of transcription factors that are critical for cellular differentiation, terminal function, and inflammatory response (1). Six members of the family have been characterized (C\/EBPÎ±, Î², Î´, Î³, Îµ, and Î¶) and are distributed in a variety of tissues (1). Translation from alternative start codons results in two isoforms of C\/EBPÎ± (p42 and p30), which are both strong transcriptional activators (2). It has been reported that insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I stimulate the dephosphorylation of C\/EBPÎ±, which may play a key role in insulin-induced repression of GLUT4 transcription (3). Phosphorylation of C\/EBPÎ± at Thr222, Thr226, and Ser230 by GSK-3 seems to be required for adipogenesis (4).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nC\/EBP alpha; C\/EBP-alpha; CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha; CCAAT\/enhancer binding protein (C\/EBP), alpha; CCAAT\/enhancer-binding protein alpha; CEBP; CEBPA\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 45\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798054162601,"sku":"2843S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-2843s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
