RNA pol σ H Antibody (3RH3) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects RNA polymerase σ factor H of E. coli origin by western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP). anti-RNA pol σ H antibody (3RH3) is available as the non-conjugated form. RNA polymerase σ factor H, also referred to as rpoH, fam, hin, or htpR, is a crucial 284 amino acid protein that belongs to the sigma-70 factor family of E. coli peptides. RNA polymerase σ factor H plays a vital role in the bacterial response to stress, particularly in the regulation of heat shock proteins, which are essential for protecting cells from damage during elevated temperatures. By mediating the expression of heat shock promoters, RNA polymerase σ factor H ensures that appropriate chaperone proteins are synthesized, thereby facilitating proper protein folding and preventing aggregation under stress conditions. RNA polymerase σ factor H initiates transcription in response to environmental changes, underscoring its importance in bacterial survival and adaptation, making RNA polymerase σ factor H a key target for studies related to stress response mechanisms in prokaryotes.
