Product Specific Information

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

Target Information

MDM2 is a ubiquitin ligase for p53 and plays a central role in regulating the stability of p53. It is located on chromosome 12 (q arm). Akt-mediated phosphorylation of MDM2 at Ser166 and Ser186 enhances its interaction with p300, promoting MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53.
Phosphorylation also prevents binding to p19ARF, further increasing p53 degradation. Overexpression of MDM2 can inactivate p53, reducing its tumor suppressor function.
MDM2 also interacts with other proteins such as retinoblastoma 1 and ribosomal protein L5, influencing apoptosis, cell cycle, and tumorigenesis. It is overexpressed in various human malignancies including soft tissue carcinomas and breast cancer.
More than 40 alternatively spliced transcript variants of MDM2 have been identified in both tumor and normal tissues.
