Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry) Specificity / Sensitivity p63 (D9L7L) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total p63. Based on the sequence of the immunogenic peptide, this antibody is expected to recognize both full length (TA) p63 as well as DeltaN p63 isoforms that contain exon 4, such as alpha, beta, and gamma. This antibody will not detect DeltaNp73L (Q9H3D4-10/NM_001329146.1). Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asn118 of human p63 protein. Background The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays a major role in cellular response to DNA damage and other genomic aberrations. Activation of p53 can lead to either cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or apoptosis (1). In addition to p53, mammalian cells contain two p53 family members, p63 and p73, which are similar to p53 in both structure and function (2). While p63 can induce p53-responsive genes and apoptosis, mutation of p63 rarely results in tumors (2). Research investigators frequently observe amplification of the gene in squamous cell carcinomas of the lung, head, and neck (2,3). The gene contains an alternative transcription initiation site that yields a truncated ΔNp63 lacking the transactivation domain, and alternative splicing at the carboxy terminus yields the α, β, and γ isoforms (3,4).
