Anti-acetyl-p53 (Lys120) Antibody

p53 is a DNA-binding, oligomerization domain and transcription activation domain-containing tumor suppressor that upregulates growth arrest and apoptosis-related genes in response to stress signals, thereby influencing programmed cell death, cell differentiation and cell cycle control mechanisms. p53 localizes to the nucleus yet can be chaperoned to the cytoplasm by the negative regulator MDM2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is upregulated in the presence of active p53, where MDM2 polyubiquitinates p53 for proteasome targeting. p53 can assemble into tetramers in the absence of DNA, fluctuates between latent and active (DNA-binding) conformations, and is differentially activated through posttranslational modifications including phosphorylation and acetylation. Mutations in the DNA-binding domain (DBD) (amino acids 110-286) of p53 can compromise energetically favorable association with cis elements and are implicated in several human cancers.

~43 kDa calculated. Many isoforms are known to exist. This antibody is predicted to react with isoform 1 (44 kDa), isoform 2 (38 kDa), isoform 3 (39 kDa), isoform 4 (39 kDa), isoform 5 (34 kDa), and isoform 6 (34 kDa).
