Product Specific Information

For reconstitution, add 100 µL distilled water to obtain a final antibody concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL.
For conjugation experiments, perform an additional desalting step (recommended: Zeba Spin Desalting Columns, 7K MWCO, 0.5 mL, Product #89882).

Target Information

The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a sequence-specific transcription factor activated by cellular stress. It mediates cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to DNA damage or nucleotide starvation. p53 activation leads to transcription of genes such as p21waf1, contributing to G1 or G2/M arrest.
Structurally, p53 includes:

• N-terminal transactivation domain
• Central DNA-binding domain
• Oligomerization domain
• C-terminal regulatory domain

Phosphorylation at Ser15 is critical for p53 activation and stabilization, while Ser392 phosphorylation is associated with tumor formation. p53 plays key roles in preventing proliferation of damaged cells and functions as an anticancer factor.
Mutations in TP53 are common in many human cancers and can result in loss of tumor suppressor activity. Germline mutations are also linked to cancer-prone syndromes such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
