Product Information

Product Usage Information

Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation 1:50

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

ATF-6 (D4Z8V) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total ATF-6 alpha protein. The antibody does not detect ATF-6 beta protein.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human ATF-6 alpha protein.

Background

Activating Transcription Factor-6 (ATF-6) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Upon accumulation of improperly folded proteins in the ER, ATF-6 is cleaved liberating a 50 kDa amino-terminal fragment that translocates to the nucleus (1, 2). There, ATF-6 activates transcription of ER chaperones and components of ER-associated degradation such as GRP78, XBP-1, and CHOP (3-5).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
