C/EBP alpha Antibody (D-5): sc-365318

C/EBP α Antibody (D-5) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects C/EBP alpha protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). C/EBP α Antibody (D-5) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. C/EBP alpha protein, a member of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein family, plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression across various tissues, including liver, adipose tissue, lung, and intestine. C/EBP alpha is involved in the differentiation of several cell types, such as liver cells and adipocytes, and is essential for terminal differentiation of these cells. C/EBP alpha structure features a basic region/leucine zipper motif that facilitates specific binding to DNA, allowing C/EBP alpha to act as a transcription factor regulating genes associated with growth and metabolism. Growth hormone activates C/EBP alpha, increasing C/EBP alpha mRNA and protein levels while enhancing DNA-binding activity, thereby influencing expression of genes like prolactin. C/EBP alpha function in terminally differentiated, growth-arrested cells underscores C/EBP alpha significance in maintaining cellular identity and function, making anti-C/EBP alpha antibody (D-5) an invaluable tool for researchers studying gene regulation and cellular differentiation.
