Gene Information

human ... MED15(51586)

General description

The gene MED15 (mediator complex subunit 15) is mapped to human chromosome 22q11.2, a region found to be deleted in DiGeorge syndrome.

Immunogen

Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 15 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-MED15 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.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MED15 (mediator complex subunit 15) gene encodes a component of the multiprotein complex ARC/Mediator complex and functions as a transcriptional coactivator in RNA polymerase II transcription. It links TGF β/Activin/Nodal/Smad2/3 signaling to transcriptional activation. The sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) binds to MED15 and mediates regulation and control of cholesterol and lipid homeostasis. The mediator complex plays an important role in eukaryotic gene transcription. Aberrations in the genes encoding the subunits of this complex have been associated with cardiovascular diseases.

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.

The sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) family of transcription activators are critical regulators of cholesterol and fatty acid homeostasis. We previously demonstrated that human SREBPs bind the CREB-binding protein (CBP)/p300 acetyltransferase KIX domain and recruit activator-recruited co-factor (ARC)/Mediator co-activator
