Description: DNA damage-inducible transcript 3, also known as C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), is a pro-apoptotictranscription factor that is encoded by the DDIT3 gene. It is mapped to 12q13.3. 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.
Immunogen: Recombinant human protein (amino acids M1-A169) was used as the immunogen for the CHOP antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the CHOP antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
