C/EBP-α (Phospho-Thr226) DNA-Binding ELISA Kit detects active C/EBP-α (Phospho-Thr226) in HepG2 Nuclear Extract. The HepG2 cells were grown 3 days in DMEM with 10% FBS and harvested for nuclear extract.

Product Info

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
• Product Format: 12 x 8-Well Microstrips
• Application: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
• ELISA Kit Detection Method: Colorimetric 450 nm
• ELISA Kit Principle: The Aviva DNA-Binding ELISA Kit contains components necessary for detection of active transcription factors in eukaryotic nuclear or cell lysates. This particular immunoassay utilizes the qualitative technique of an indirect ELISA. Streptavidin is bound to the immunoassay plate and specific biotinylated double-stranded (dsDNA) oligonucleotides are then added to bind to the streptavidin via a high affinity biotin-streptavidin interaction. After subsequent blocking of extraneous binding sites in each well, the sample containing the target of interest can be added. Primary antibody is added to bind activated transcription factors bound to the dsDNA oligonucleotide, which has been immobilized via the plate-coated streptavidin. A HRP-conjugated secondary antibody specific for rabbit IgGs is added, which allows for specific binding to the Primary Antibody, and consequently colorimetric detection upon addition of the TMB substrate.
  For color development, TMB (3, 3’, 5, 5’-Tetramethylbenzidine) is added to each well. After addition of the substrate, a peroxidase catalyzed reaction will produce a blue TMB Diimine product that is proportional to the target concentration in the sample. Color development is quenched by addition of Stop Solution, or 2 N Sulfuric Acid, which turns the solution yellow. The absorbance can then be read by a spectrophotometer at 450 nm and subsequently allowing for determination of the target concentration in the sample.

Target Info

• Gene Symbol: CEBPA
• Gene Full Name: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha
• Alias Symbols: CEBP, C/EBP-alpha
• NCBI Gene Id: 1050
• Protein Name: CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha
• Description of Target: This intronless gene encodes a transcription factor that contains a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain and recognizes the CCAAT motif in the promoters of target genes. The encoded protein functions in homodimers and also heterodimers with CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins beta and gamma. Activity of this protein can modulate the expression of genes involved in cell cycle regulation as well as in body weight homeostasis. Mutation of this gene is associated with acute myeloid leukemia. The use of alternative in-frame non-AUG (GUG) and AUG start codons results in protein isoforms with different lengths. Differential translation initiation is mediated by an out-of-frame, upstream open reading frame which is located between the GUG and the first AUG start codons.
