General description

Activation Protein transcription factor 1 (AP-1) is a leucine zipper transcription factor that recognizes a specific palindromic sequence present in several promoters and enhancers. AP-1 can be induced by several growth and apoptosis-related signaling pathways. Jun proteins are also involved in metastatic, inflammatory and stress responses.
Anti-AP-1/c-Jun recognizes an epitope located on the c-Jun DNA binding domain. This epitope is highly conserved in c-Jun, Jun B and Jun D proteins of chicken, mouse, rat, and human. By immunoblotting, the antibody reacts specifically with AP-1/c-Jun (a single band or occasionally a doublet at 39kDa region). Additional bands of lower molecular weight may be observed. Staining of AP-1/c-Jun band(s) is inhibited by the AP-1/c-Jun immunizing peptide (amino acid residues 246-263).
Activation Protein transcription factor 1 (AP-1) is a regulatory leucine zipper transcription factor. AP-1 is composed of either a homodimer of two Jun protein molecules or a heterodimer of one Jun and one Fos (Proto-oncogenes) molecules.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 246-263 of human c-Jun with N-terminally added lysine, conjugated to KLH.

Application

Anti-AP-1 antibody has been used in
  • immunohistochemistry
  • immunochemistry
  • western blotting

Immunofluorescence of Hela cells was performed using monoclonal anti-AP1 (clone 100/3) as the primary antibody.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Activation Protein transcription factor 1 (AP-1) recognizes a specific sequence (TPA response element, a palindromic TRE sequence TGA(C/G) TCA or related sequences) present in many promoter and enhancer gene regions. Regulation of AP-1 is achieved by changes in the expression of Jun and Fos proteins in the dimer, by phosphorylation at both Ser63 and Ser73 by c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and by interaction with a variety of transcriptional coactivators like C-Jun activation domain-binding protein-1 (JAB1). AP-1 is induced by a variety of signals including those eliciting proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.

Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), which is a primary cytokine responsible for inflammatory responses in skin, induces the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which causes skin aging. The protective effects of 3-deoxysappanchalcone against TNF-α-induced damage was investigated using human skin
