Storage
Store as concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4ºC. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20ºC or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Concentration
1 mg/ml (Please refer to the vial label for the specific concentration.)
Antigen Species
Human
Immunogen
This antibody was developed against a peptide corresponding to a portion of amino acid residues 1-50 of human dNp73. Mouse and human sequences are more than 95 % identical at these amino acid residues. In mouse, alanine at position 8 is replaced by methionine.
Purification
Protein G purified
Conjugation
Unconjugated

Background
Even though the tumor suppressor gene p53 is highly important in human cancer, as indicated by the fact that it is mutated in about 50% of cases, up to a few years ago no similar proteins had been identified. Two p53 homologues are now identified, p73 and p63, with high amino acid identity suggesting similar functions. Both p63 and p73 have two significant structural peculiarities compared with p53; the presence of an extended non-conserved C-terminus containing a sterile alpha motive (SAM), (typical of developmental proteins), and the presence of number of different splicing isoforms differing in the N-terminus or in the absence of the transactivation domain (delta N forms).
