Background

Tristetraprolin (TTP), also known as NUP475, G0S24, RNF162A, TIS11, and ZFP36, is a CCCH tandem zinc-finger protein that binds to adenosine and uridine (AU)-rich elements (AREs) within 3'-untranslated regions of mRNA and leads to their rapid degradation (1-6). Expression of TTP is rapidly induced by mitogens and growth factors including insulin, phorbol ester, cytokines, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In addition, numerous phosphorylation sites on TTP can regulate its stability, nuclear to cytosolic trafficking, as well as controlling its ARE-binding activity. Many of the target mRNAs for TTP, such as TNF-α, have critical roles in inflammation and cancer (2), and mice deficient in TTP develop a systemic autoimmune inflammatory syndrome along with excessive TNF-α levels (7). Furthermore, suppression of TTP expression has been identified as a negative prognostic indicator for some cancers (8).

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.
