CHOP (phospho Ser30) rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse

Backgroud: This gene encodes a member of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) family of transcription factors. The protein functions as a dominant-negative inhibitor by forming heterodimers with other C/EBP members, such as C/EBP and LAP (liver activator protein), and preventing their DNA binding activity. The protein is implicated in adipogenesis and erythropoiesis, is activated by endoplasmic reticulum stress, and promotes apoptosis. Fusion of this gene and FUS on chromosome 16 or EWSR1 on chromosome 22 induced by translocation generates chimeric proteins in myxoid liposarcomas or Ewing sarcoma. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two isoforms with different length have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010],disease:A chromosomal aberration involving DDIT3 is found in a form of malignant myxoid liposarcoma [MIM:126337]. Translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11) with FUS.,function:Inhibits the DNA-binding activity of C/EBP and LAP by forming heterodimers that cannot bind DNA.,similarity:Belongs to the bZIP family.,similarity:Contains 1 bZIP domain.,subunit:Heterodimer.,
