• Target description: Transcription factor AP-1 (UniProt: P05412; also known as Activator protein 1, AP1, Proto-oncogene c-Jun, V-jun avian sarcoma virus 17 oncogene homolog, p39) is encoded by the JUN gene (Gene ID: 3725) in human. c-Jun is a transcription factors that forms homodimers with JunB and JunD or heterodimers with Fos family members. These homodimers and heterodimers bind to specific DNA sequences, known as 12-Otetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate response elements (TRE), in the promoter regions of target genes and activate transcription. c-Jun recognizes and binds to the enhancer heptamer motif 5′-TGA[CG]TCA-3′. It is involved in numerous cellular activities, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, survival, tumorigenesis, and tissue morphogenesis. c-Jun is phosphorylated by CaMK4 and DNA dependent protein kinase, which enhances its transcriptional activity. When phosphorylated by HIPK3, it promotes the activity of Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5 Group A Member 1 (NR5A) that leads to increased steroidogenic gene expression upon stimulation of cAMP signaling pathway. It also undergoes phosphorylation at serine 243 by DYRK2 that primes it for phosphorylation by GSK-3b at threonine 239, serine 243, and serine 249. These phosphorylations reduce its DNA binding ability and allow its ubiquitination and degradation. On the other hand, when ERK activates p70S6 kinase, the activated p70S6 kinase phosphorylates GSK3b at serine 21 that leads to dephosphorylation and increased DNA binding activity of c-Jun. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb® formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
