    • Function

      Transcriptional activator. Binds the cAMP response element (CRE) (consensus: 5'-GTGACGT[AC][AG]-3'), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. It binds to a Tax-responsive enhancer element in the long terminal repeat of HTLV-I.
    • Sequence similarities

      Belongs to the bZIP family.
      Contains 1 bZIP domain.
    • Cellular localization

      Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Nucleus. Colocalizes with GABBR1 in hippocampal neuron dendritic membranes.

      Question

      I’m trying to optimize immunohistochemistry protocols for the two following antibodies: Anti-ATF4 (ab31390) and Anti-GRP78 BiP (ab21685).

      Your product sheets mention liver and breast carcinomas as positive controls for IHC-P. Could you give me more details as to what sort of carcinomas would be best?

      Asked on Nov 28 2012

      Answer

      Thank you for contacting us.

      For ab21685 we used human liver carcinoma. I would suggest using the following product as a positive control:
      Liver tumor (human): hepatocellular carcinoma tissue slides (ab4877) (https://www.abcam.com/ab4877).

      For ab31390 we used ductal breast carcinoma tissue so I would suggest the following product from our catalogue:
      Breast tumor (human): ductal carcinoma (invasive) tissue slides (ab4697) (https://www.abcam.com/ab4697)

      I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

      Question

      Thank you for your immediate response. Please have a look at my answers. And please don't send the antibody which I wished to have, since I found it does not work on WB. I would like to have same antibody (ab 50546) which may work again. Have a nice evening.

      Question

      Dear Sirs and Madam I recently bought the anti ATF4 antibody (ab50546). While I have tried to change gel type, blocking, incubation, secondary antibody, the blott showed only black dots. There's not any single band at all. Please tell me if you can change it with another one (ab31390). Since I need to resubmit paper on the next Tuesday. Unless you respond me today, I would order ab31390 as soon as possible. Thank you for your listening.
