Anti-FOXO3A Antibody

Forkhead box O3A (FOXO3A) is a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors (FOXO), which play an important role in cellular proliferation, metabolism, stress tolerance, and aging. FOXO transcription factors have a characteristic forkhead domain and are located in the cytoplasm. Upon oxidative stress, FOXO3A translocates to the nucleus where binding to the DNA sequence 5’-[AG]TAAA[TC]A-3’ occurs and IGF-1 is dephosphlorated, resulting in apoptosis. In order for the cell to survive, IGF-1 must be phosphlorated by AKT1/PKB at Thr32 and Ser-253, which will result in retention and inactivation of FOXO3A in the cytoplasm. Translocation of FOXO3A with the MLL gene has been associated with secondary acute leukemia.

This Anti-FOXO3A Antibody is validated for use in WB, IC for the detection of FOXO3A.

This antibody recognizes FOXO3A.

Affinity purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal antibody precipitated in a solution of 50% saturated ammonium sulfate and PBS containing no preservatives.

Stable for 1 year at 2-8ºC from date of receipt.
To reconstitute the antibody, centrifuge the antibody at a moderate speed (5,000 rpm) for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the ammonium sulfate/PBS buffer solution and discard; 10μL of residual ammonium sulfate solution will not affect the re-suspension of the antibody. Do not let the protein pellet dry, as severe loss of antibody reactivity can occur. Re-suspend the antibody pellet in 100L either standard PBS or TBS (pH 7.3-7.5). DO NOT VORTEX. Mix by gentle stirring with a wide pipet tip or gentle finger-tapping. Let the precipitated antibody rehydrate for 1 hour at 25°C prior to use. Small particles of precipitated antibody that fail to re-suspend are normal. Vials are overfilled to compensate for any losses.
