Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

β-TrCP (D13F10) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total β-TrCP protein. The antibody also recognizes a 40 kDa band of unknown origin.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ile69 of human β-TrCP protein.

Background

β-transducin repeat-containing protein (β-TrCP or FBW1A) is an F-box family protein characterized by the presence of the protein-protein mediating F-box domain first described in cyclin F. F-box proteins act as substrate adaptors that target proteins containing a specific phosphorylated sequence element, referred to as a phosphodegron, to the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for ubiquitination (1,2). β-TrCP targets many important proteins with diverse functions, such as p53, H-Ras, Smad4, IκBα, β-catenin, and the cell cycle checkpoint protein claspin, for ubiquitin-mediated degradation (3-5). Research studies have shown that inhibition of β-TrCP expression has a demonstrated benefit in the treatment of prostate cancer (6).
