Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human MAZ. AA range:159-208
Specificity
MAZ Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of MAZ protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
WB 1:500-2000;IHC-p 1:50-300; ELISA 2000-20000
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
function:May function as a transcription factor with dual roles in transcription initiation and termination. Binds to two sites, ME1a1 and ME1a2, within the c-myc promoter having greater affinity for the former. Also binds to multiple G/C-rich sites within the promoter of the Sp1 family of transcription factors.,similarity:Contains 6 C2H2-type zinc fingers.,subcellular location:In brains of Alzheimer disease patients, present in a plaque-like structures.,subunit:Interacts with BPTF.,tissue specificity:Present in kidney, liver and brain. In the brain, highest levels are found in motor cortex and midfrontal cortex (at protein level).,
