Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting
Reactivity Key:  M=Mouse  R=Rat
Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

C/EBPδ Antibody detects endogenous levels of total C/EBPδ protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) derived from the sequence of mouseC/EBPδ. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extract from differentiated 3T3-L1 cells, using C/EBPδ Antibody.

Background

CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) are a family of transcription factors critical for cellular proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, inflammatory response and many other biological events (1,2). Six members of the family have been identified (C/EBPα, β, δ, γ, ε and ζ) and have been shown to distribute in a variety of tissues (1,2). C/EBPδ is highly expressed in adipose tissue, lung and intestine (2). C/EBPs play an important role in positively regulating adipogenesis (2,3) and C/EBPδ mRNA levels are enhanced during this process (3). C/EBPδ is also expressed in the mammalian nervous system (2) and has been shown to play an important role in long-term memory (4).
