ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, IF Microscopy, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot. Anti-ATF6 Antibody has been tested in Western Blot, IF and ELISA. Recombinant ATF6 protein positive control was used for western blotting. Expect a band at 74.5kDa in western blot using appropriate lysates or recombinant protein. Antibody tested positive in U251 cells (W09-001-GY4) in Immunofluorescence. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and immunoprecipitation.

Description
This affinity purified antibody is directed against human ATF6. This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Blast analysis of the sequence of the immunogen shows 100% identity with human and 80% identity to rat. . ATF6 belongs to the bZIP (basic-leucine zipper domain transcription factor) family. Activating target genes for the unfolded protein response during endoplasmic reticulum stress. Embeded in the endoplasmic reticulum, it functions as an ER stress sensor/stress transducer. Following stress-induced proteolysis it functions as a nuclear transcription factor via a cis-acting ER stress response element (ERSE) that is present in the promoters of genes encoding ER chaperones. Binds DNA on the 5'-CCAC[GA]-3' half of the ER stress response element (ERSE) (5'-CCAAT-N(9)-CCAC[GA]-3') and of ERSE II (5'-ATTGG-N-CCACG-3'). Binding to ERSE requires binding of NF-Y to ERSE. ATF6 could also be involved in the activation of transcription by the serum response factor. This protein may play a role in the development of the foveal and cone function in the retina. Therefore, attributing to disorders such as achromatopsia, blindness, nystagmus, myopia, cataracts and more. Anti-ATF6 Antibody is useful for researchers studying eye development, protein folding and processing, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathways, Glucose and Energy Metabolism Research.
Immunogen
Anti-ATF6 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a N-Term portion of human ATF6 conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH).
