Notes

This mouse monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (Anti-ERG antibody [EPR3864] ab92513). By necessity, some rabbit sequence is retained as part of the variable domain. When multiplexing with other rabbit-derived antibodies, using cross absorbed Fc-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.

Activity summary

ERG or ETS-related gene is a transcription factor that belongs to the ETS (E-26 transformation specific) family. The ERG protein plays an important role in gene regulation involved in cell growth and differentiation. ERG has a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. It is expressed in a variety of tissues including the prostate endothelial cells and hematopoietic cells. Researchers often study ERG protein localization through techniques such as ERG IHC to better understand its expression across different tissues for example in the ERG color sections that highlight specific cellular contexts.

Biological function summary

ERG regulates processes critical for normal cellular functions such as proliferation apoptosis and differentiation. It functions as part of a larger transcriptional regulatory complex and interacts with other proteins to exert its effects on target genes. The ERG protein can affect angiogenesis and limb development through its regulation of vascular endothelial cells. By controlling such important cellular processes ERG influences both normal physiological functions and abnormal conditions when dysregulated.

Pathways

ERG is highly significant in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway which is involved in cell division and survival. ERG interacts with other signaling proteins such as FLI1 and RUNX1 affecting cellular responses and contributing to the regulation of gene expression essential for development and homeostasis. Within the hematopoietic context ERG participates in the regulation of pathways that maintain stem cell populations making it important for normal blood cell development.

Associated diseases and disorders

ERG is prominently implicated in prostate cancer where gene fusions involving ERG lead to its overexpression and contribute to malignancy. The abnormal expression of ERG in endothelial cells can also have a role in vascular disorders. ERG's interplay with proteins like TMPRSS2 often seen in gene fusions in prostate cancer underlines its role in oncogenesis. Understanding how ERG regulates these pathways and its interactions with other proteins helps in developing targeted therapies for disorders involving ERG dysregulation.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-ERG antibody [EPR3864] - Mouse IgG2b (Chimeric) (ab214341)

    IHC image of ERG staining in a section of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded human prostate cancer. The section was pre-treated using pressure cooker heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA (pH9). The section was incubated with unpurified ab214341, 0.16 μg/ml, for 30 mins at room temperature followed by an incubation with a ready to use anti mouse HRP polymer system for 15 mins at room temperature. The section was counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with permanent mounting media. As a negative control (inset) the same assay was performed on a section of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded, normal human prostate.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

    This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab214341 (lane 1) and Anti-ERG antibody [EPR3864] ab92513 (lane 2) overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-mouse (lane 1) and anti-rabbit (lane 2) antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ECL Substrate Kit (High Sensitivity) ab133406.
