CTCF antibody (C-Term)

Catalog No. ABIN964616

Product Details anti-CTCF Antibody

Target: CTCF (CCCTC-Binding Factor (Zinc Finger Protein) (CTCF))

Binding Specificity: C-Term

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This CTCF antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Specificity: This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with endogenous CTCF protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with CTCF from human, mouse, horse, bovine, panda, rabbit, Danio, and chicken based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with CTCF from other sources has not been determined.

Cross-Reactivity: Mouse (Murine)

Characteristics: Transcriptional repressor CTCF (also known as CCCTC-binding factor) is a transcription factor encoded by the CTCF gene. The CTCF, and the closely related Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites (BORIS), are highly conserved zinc finger proteins implicated in diverse regulatory functions, including transcriptional activation/repression, insulation, imprinting, and X chromosome inactivation. Expression of BORIS is restricted to spermatocytes and is mutually exclusive of CTCF expression. CTCF is ubiquitously expressed in higher eukaryotes and contains a highly conserved and eleven zinc finger central DNA-binding domain, having very high homology between mouse, chicken, and human and is embedded within slightly divergent N and C termini. CTFC plays a critical role in the epigenetic regulation and chromatin remodeling. CTCF has been reported to bind to a variety of DNA target sites that perform distinct functions, including promoter activation or repression, hormone-responsive gene silencing, methylation-dependent chromatin insulation, and genomic imprinting.

Purification: affinity purified

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: This affinity purified antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the C-terminus of CTCF protein.
Immunogen Type: Peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: CTCF antibody is suitable for ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 82.8 kDa or 150 kDa in size corresponding to CTCF by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
