    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody retains the antigen-binding Fab regions of the original parent host sequence from which it is engineered. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as CREB (48H2) Rabbit mAb #9197.

    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Immunofluorescence (Frozen) 1:50 - 1:200

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    CREB (48H2) Feline Chimeric mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total CREB-1 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with other ATF/CREB family members. Non-specific staining of components along the retinotectal pathway was observed by immunofluorescence in fixed frozen mouse tissue. Non-specific signal is observed in formaldehyde fixed frozen mouse retina by immunofluorescence.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, D. melanogaster

    Source / Purification

    This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from CREB (48H2) Rabbit mAb #9197 according to animal-free protocols. This chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody but contains a feline-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies.

    The parent antibody, CREB (48H2) Rabbit mAb #9197, is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of human CREB-1 protein. The epitope has been mapped to residues surrounding Glu21.

    Background

    CREB is a bZIP transcription factor that activates target genes through cAMP response elements. CREB is able to mediate signals from numerous physiological stimuli, resulting in regulation of a broad array of cellular responses. While CREB is expressed in numerous tissues, it plays a large regulatory role in the nervous system. CREB is believed to play a key role in promoting neuronal survival, precursor proliferation, neurite outgrowth, and neuronal differentiation in certain neuronal populations (1-3). Additionally, CREB signaling is involved in learning and memory in several organisms (4-6). CREB is able to selectively activate numerous downstream genes through interactions with different dimerization partners. CREB is activated by phosphorylation at Ser133 by various signaling pathways, including Erk, Ca2+, and stress signaling. Some of the kinases involved in phosphorylating CREB at Ser133 are p90RSK, MSK, CaMKIV, and MAPKAPK-2 (7-9).
