Rpb1 CTD antibody (pSer5)

Catalog No. ABIN6972638

Product Details anti-Rpb1 CTD Antibody

Target: Rpb1 CTD (RNA Polymerase II CTD)

Binding Specificity: pSer5

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Rpb1 CTD antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)

Characteristics: RNA pol II (RNA polymerase II) is responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. RNA pol II contains a carboxy terminal domain composed of heptapeptide repeats that are essential for polymerase activity. These repeats contain serine and threonine residues that are phosphorylated in actively transcribing RNA polymerase. In addition, RNA pol II, in combination with several other polymerase subunits, form the DNA binding domain of the polymerase, a groove in which the DNA template is transcribed into RNA. During the transcription cycle, the CTD of the large subunit of RNA pol II is reversibly phosphorylated. RNA pol II containing unphosphorylated CTD is recruited to the promoter, whereas the hyperphosphorylated CTD form is involved in active transcription. Phosphorylation occurs at two sites within the heptapeptide repeat, at Serine 5 and Serine 2. RNA pol II Serine 5 phosphorylation is confined to promoter regions and is necessary for the initiation of transcription. RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser5 antibody (mAb) (Clone 1H4B6) was raised in a Rat host. It has been validated for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence and Western blot, it has been shown to react with Human samples.
