14-3-3 γ (D15B7) Rabbit mAb

5522:

Western Blotting

14-3-3γ (D15B7) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total 14-3-3 γ protein. This antibody does not cross-react with other mammalian 14-3-3 isoforms and is predicted to detect 14-3-3γ orthologs in other species, including frog and fish.

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ile79 of human 14-3-3 γ protein.

Isoform Specificity

Isoform specificity of 14-3-3γ (D15B7) Rabbit mAb. Recombinant, purified, GST-tagged 14-3-3 protein isofoms (2 µg each)were resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose and blotted with either 14-3-3 γ (D15B7) Rabbit mAb (upper) or GST (91G1) Rabbit mAb #2625 (lower).

The 14-3-3 family of proteins plays a key regulatory role in signal transduction, checkpoint control, apoptotic and nutrient-sensing pathways (1,2). 14-3-3 proteins are highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed. There are at least seven isoforms, β, γ, ε, σ, ζ, τ, and η that have been identified in mammals. The initially described α and δ isoforms are confirmed to be phosphorylated forms of β and ζ, respectively (3). Through their amino-terminal α helical region, 14-3-3 proteins form homo- or heterodimers that interact with a wide variety of proteins: transcription factors, metabolic enzymes, cytoskeletal proteins, kinases, phosphatases, and other signaling molecules (3,4). The interaction of 14-3-3 proteins with their targets is primarily through a phospho-Ser/Thr motif. However, binding to divergent phospho-Ser/Thr motifs, as well as phosphorylation-independent interactions, has been observed (4). 14-3-3 binding masks specific sequences of the target protein and therefore modulates target protein localization, phosphorylation state, stability, and molecular interactions (1-4). 14-3-3 proteins may also induce target protein conformational changes that modify target protein function (4,5). Distinct temporal and spatial expression patterns of 14-3-3 isoforms have been observed in development and in acute response to extracellular signals and drugs, suggesting that 14-3-3 isoforms may perform different functions despite their sequence similarities (4). Several studies suggest that 14-3-3 isoforms are differentially regulated in cancer and neurological syndromes (2,3).
