Anti-FOS antibody produced in rabbit
SIGMA/HPA018531 - Prestige Antibodies® Powered by Atlas Antibodies, affinity isolated antibody, buffered aqueous glycerol solution
Synonym: Anti-AP-1; Anti-c-fos
MDL Number: MFCD00239671
Product Type: Chemical
ChIP-Exo-Seq composite graph for Anti-FOS (HPA018531, Lot 000015845) tested in MCF7 cells. Strand-specific reads (blue: forward, red: reverse) and IgG controls (black: forward, grey: reverse) are plotted against the distance from a composite set of reference binding sites. The antibody exhibits robust target enrichment compared to a non-specific IgG control and precisely reveals its structural organization around the binding site. Data generated by Prof. B. F. Pugh´s Lab at Cornell University. *Please note not all antibody batches are validated for use in ChIP applications.

| Application: | All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information. |
| Application: | Anti-FOS antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige . |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | C-FOS (Cellular oncogene fos) is considered immediate-early gene. Its expression is generally low but rapidly increases in response to extracellular stimuli that result in cellular processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation. C-FOS forms AP-1 (activator protein-1) heterodimer complex with C-JUN (Proto-oncogene c-Jun) and thereby acts as a transcriptional regulator. C-FOS regulates genes which are important for tumorigenesis. Change in expression of C-FOS is associated with psychosis-proneness or schizotypy. |

| Features and Benefits: | Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section. Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments. |
| General description: | The gene C-FOS (Cellular oncogene fos) is mapped to human chromosome 14q24.3. It belongs to AP-1 (activator protein-1) family of transcription factors. The protein is mainly localized in the nucleus. |
| Immunogen: | Proto-oncogene protein c-fos recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST) |
