HSF1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1 ug/ml ELISA: 5 µg/ml
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Affinity purified Anti-HSF1 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide near the n-terminal portion of human HSF1 protein.
Specificity	Anti-HSF1 is directed against human HSF1 at a n-terminus position. This product is an affinity purified antibody produced by immunoaffinity chromatography using peptide coupled to agarose beads.  A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein in mouse and bovine species based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Concentration	0.96 mg/ml - lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	heat shock transcription factor 1
Database Link	Entrez Gene 3297 Human UniProt ID Q00613
Background	Anti-HSF1 Antibody was designed, produced, and validated as part of the Joy Cappel Young Investigator Award (JCYIA). Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is a highly conserved transcription factor that coordinates stress-induced transcription and directs versatile physiological processes in eukaryotes. Upon stress, HSF1 is the key transcriptional activator of chaperones, co-chaperones and ubiquitin, and also coordinates the expression of many transcriptional and translational regulators, signaling molecules and mitotic determinants. HSF1 is involved in balancing core cellular processes during stress and enables their rapid re-establishment once conditions suitable for proliferation have been restored. Importantly, HSF1 controls a distinct set of target genes in cell stress, development and cancer progression. The central role of HSF1 in diverse cellular functions is reflected in pathologies, such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, where an imbalance in HSF1 activity facilitates disease onset. The ability of cancer cells to harness HSF1 for metastatic progression highlights the plasticity of HSF1 in rewiring transcription and coordinating cellular processes. Anti-HSF1 antibody is thus ideal for investigators involved in cancer research and neurodegenerative diseases.
Synonyms	rabbit anti-HSF1 antibody, HSF-1, HSF 1, heat shock factor protein 1, HSTF1, HSTF 1, HSTF-1, heat shock transcription factor 1
Note	Anti-Heat Shock Factor 1 Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band of 57 kDa in size corresponding to HSF1 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Tested using positive control A431 Whole Cell Lysate p/n W09-000-361.
