Anti-CREB Antibody

32160702

NA.41

Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 1 (UniProt P16220; also known as cAMP-responsive element-binding protein 1, CREB-1) is encoded by the CREB1 gene (Gene ID 1385) in human. CREB is a transcription factor that binds the cAMP response elements (CRE) and regulates the transcription of the downstream genes. CREB activity is regulation via phosphorylation by various kinases, including PKA, and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. Genes known to be regulated by CREB include c-fos, BDNF, tyrosine hydroxylase, neuropeptides (such as somatostatin, enkephalin, VGF, and corticotropin-releasing hormone), as well as the circadian clock genes PER1 and PER2. CREB is critical for memory formation across a wide range of species.

This antibody recognizes CREB.

Epitope: Amino acids 5-24.
KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide (CSGAENQ QSGDAAVTEAENQQ) corresponding to a.a. 5-24 of human CREB. The immunizing sequence is identical in pig, shares 19 of 20 residues with mouse and bovine and 18 of 20 residues with rat.

Anti-CREB Antibody, Cat. No. 06-863, is a highly specific rabbit Polyclonal antibody, that targets CREB and has been tested in Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP), ChIP-seq, Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA), Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blotting.
