The SP3/SP4 Antibody (PACO05110) is a highly specific monoclonal antibody designed for research involving the SP3 and SP4 transcription factors. These factors play crucial roles in the regulation of gene expression and are involved in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.The antibody, produced using advanced monoclonal antibody technology, is optimized for use in applications such as Western blot and immunofluorescence. It specifically binds to SP3 and SP4 proteins, allowing for accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types. Its high specificity and sensitivity make it an ideal tool for studying the functions and mechanisms of SP3 and SP4 in molecular and cellular biology research.
SP3 and SP4 are key regulators of gene expression and are involved in a wide range of biological processes, making them important targets for research in fields such as cancer biology, developmental biology, and stem cell research. Understanding the roles of these transcription factors can provide valuable insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. The SP3/SP4 Antibody (PACO05110) is a valuable tool for researchers looking to investigate the functions and regulation of SP3 and SP4 in various cellular contexts.
Transcriptional factor that can act as an activator or repressor depending on isoform and/or post-translational modifications. Binds to GT and GC boxes promoter elements. Competes with SP1 for the GC-box promoters. Weak activator of transcription but can activate a number of genes involved in different processes such as cell-cycle regulation, hormone-induction and house-keeping.
NCBI Summary:
This gene belongs to a family of Sp1 related genes that encode transcription factors that regulate transcription by binding to consensus GC- and GT-box regulatory elements in target genes. This protein contains a zinc finger DNA-binding domain and several transactivation domains, and has been reported to function as a bifunctional transcription factor that either stimulates or represses the transcription of numerous genes. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, and one has been reported to initiate translation from a non-AUG (AUA) start codon. Additional isoforms, resulting from the use of alternate downstream translation initiation sites, have also been noted. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 13.
