Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ TTP belongs to a family of human ARE (AU-rich element found in 3′ UTR mRNA) binding protein TTP mRNA is widely distributed among tissue types, with a higher expression level in spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus._x000D_ Tristetraprolin (TTP), also known as zinc-finger protein 36 (ZFP36), is a RNA-binding protein, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 19q13.2. TTP is ubiquitously expressed and is characterized with a highly homologous RNA binding domain (RBD) with two CCCH zinc fingers (ZFs)._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 51-67 of human TTP, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence differs by one amino acid in mouse and rat._x000D_ Application_x000D_ TTP (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in following studies:_x000D_ • RNA EMSA supershift_x000D_ • immunoblotting_x000D_ • ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation (RNP-IP)_x000D_ Target description_x000D_ TTP (N-terminal) (also known as Tristetraproline, Zfp-36, TIS11A, and Growth factor-inducible nuclear protein NUP475) is an RNA-binding protein that suppresses inflammation by accelerating the degradation of cytokine mRNA. TTP belongs to a family of human_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_ In activated monocytes and T lymphocytes, it regulates the expression of tumor necrosis factor a (TNF- α) by binding to a conserved AU rich element within the 3′ UTR of TNF-α mRNA. TTP is a phosphoprotein reported to be a substrate for kinases like MAPK activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2). The p38 signal transduction pathway is required for the expression of TTP protein and mRNA._x000D_ Tristetraprolin (TTP) plays a key role in maintaining the stability of certain adenosine/uridine AU-rich element (ARE) mRNAs, by removing of the poly(A) tail and enhancing mRNA turnover. The encoded protein participates in mRNA binding and destabilization.
