Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Anti-p53 antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma PAb1801 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (SP2 cells) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human wild type p53. Anti-p53 antibody, Mouse monoclonal recognizes human p53._x000D_ p53 is a tumor suppressor gene expressed in a wide variety of tissues. It is a tetrameric nuclear DNA-binding phosphoprotein. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 17p13.1 and mouse chromosome 11._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-p53-Biotin antibody produced in mouse has been used for Western Blotting._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Tumor suppressor p53 has the capability to induce cell cycle arrest and has a role in DNA repair, senescence and apoptosis. It binds to Simian vacuolating virus 40 (SV40) T-antigen and human papilloma virus E6 protein. The p53 gene is mutated in various cancers, such as of the breast, ovarian, bladder, colon and lung.
