Background: The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays a major role in cellular response to DNA damage and other genomic aberrations. Activation of p53 can lead to either cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or apoptosis. In addition to p53, mammalian cells contain two p53 family members, p63 and p73, which are similar to p53 in both structure and function. While p63 can induce p53-responsive genes and apoptosis, mutation of p63 rarely results in tumors. Research investigators frequently observe amplification of the p63 gene in squamous cell carcinomas of the lung, head and neck. The p63 gene contains an alternative transcription initiation site that yields a truncated ΔNp63 lacking the transactivation domain, and alternative splicing at the carboxy-terminus yields the α, β, and γ isoforms.
Purification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Specificity: Recognizes endogenous levels of p63 protein.
Bioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 76 kDa
Note: For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedure.
Extra Notes: Immunohistochemical analysis of p63 staining in human prostate formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX., Immunohistochemical analysis of p63 staining in human tonsil formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section.
