• Specificity: Clone 6O23 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects p53 protein. It targets an epitope within 12 amino acids from the N-terminal region.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 12 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human p53.
• Application: Anti-p53, clone 6O23 ZooMAb , Cat. No. ZRB1175, is a highly specific recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody that detects p53 and has been tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
• Target description: Cellular tumor antigen p53 (UniProt: P04637; also known as Antigen NY-CO-13, Phosphoprotein p53, Tumor suppressor p53) is encoded by the TP53 (also known as p53) gene (Gene ID: 7157) in human. p53, a well-conserved phosphoprotein, is one of the best-known tumor suppressors. Human p53 consists of 393 amino acids assembled into five structurally and functionally different domains. It acts as a sequence-specific nuclear transcription factor that binds to defined consensus sites within DNA as a tetramer and represses transcription of a set of genes involved in cell growth stimulation, while activating a different set of genes involved in cell cycle control. It causes growth arrest before either DNA replication thereby providing a window for DNA repair or elimination of cells with severely damaged DNA strands. In some cell types, however, p53 activation results in apoptosis as a means of eliminating severely damaged cells. In normal, non-activated cells, the p53 signaling network is not active. However, p53 signaling is activated in cells as a response to various signals. Carcinogen-induced DNA damage, abnormal proliferative signals, hypoxia, and loss of cell adhesion are some of the most common signals that activate p53. The final outcome of p53 activation depends on many factors and is mediated largely through the action of downstream effector genes transactivated by p53. In unstressed cells, p53 is latent and is maintained at low levels by targeted, ubiquitin-mediated degradation mediated by MDM2 and many other ubiquitin ligases. MDM2 functions as an E3 ligase to ubiquitinate p53 and force its export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where p53 is degraded by the proteasome. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
