CoraLite® Plus 488-conjugated ATF4 Monoclonal antibody

ATF4 is a transcription factor, that accumulates predominantly in osteoblasts, where it regulates terminal osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. As a basic leucine-zipper (bZip) transcription factor, ATF4 can regulate amino acid metabolism, cellular redox state, and anti-stress responses. It also regulates age-related and diet-induced obesity and glucose homeostasis in mammals, and has conserved metabolic functions in flies. Due to its location at chromosome 22q13, a region linked to schizophrenia, ATF4 is considered as a positional candidate gene for schizophrenia. Otherwise, since ATF4 is induced by tumour microenvironmental factors, and regulates processes relevant to cancer progression, it might serve as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. This antibody is a mouse monoclonal antibody raised against full length human ATF4 antigen. The antibody recognizes the 38 kd ATF4 protein and its phosphorylated forms (50 kd). This antibody is conjugated with CL488, Ex/Em 488 nm/515 nm.
