CTCF Antibody (B-5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody that detects CTCF from mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CTCF Antibody (B-5) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. CTCF, or CCCTC-binding factor, is a critical zinc finger transcription factor that plays a vital role in regulating gene expression by binding to long and diverse DNA sequences. CTCF′s unique structure, characterized by 11 zinc fingers—10 of the C2H2 class and 1 of the C2HC class—enables binding to a wide array of genomic elements, influencing the transcription of numerous genes. This structural complexity is essential for functioning as a transcriptional repressor of the c-myc gene and as a regulator of lysozyme gene expression. Additionally, CTCF′s interaction with the promoter region of the amyloid beta-protein precursor (APP) gene is crucial for activating APP transcription, which is significant for synapse formation during neuronal development. CTCF is predominantly localized in the nucleus and is expressed ubiquitously across various tissues. Expression is tightly regulated, particularly during terminal differentiation, where negative regulation occurs through differential phosphorylation and reductions in both CTCF mRNA and protein levels.
