Antibodies

The hypoxia inducible factors are a family of heterodimeric transcription factors which are activated in response to lowered oxygen levels, or hypoxia. Although it may seem that HIF-1 alpha receives all the attention, other HIF antibodies, such as the HIF-2 alpha and HIF-1 beta antibody, are frequently used in clinical research as well.

Tubulin is a heterodimeric complex composed of alpha and beta subunits. Just like histones, tubulin can undergo post-translational modification, to affect cellular function. Novus Biologicals offers a large database of modified Tubulin antibody products.

SOX2 encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors, which play a vital role in embryonic development. SOX2 antibody research has identified Sox2 as a key transcription factor in pluripotent stem cells. We at Novus Biologicals offer a number of top quality SOX2 products in our stem cell antibody catalog.

The Survivin antibody is widely used in apoptosis studies, and as a cellular marker. Today, biochemists have a wide range of Survivin antibody products to choose from, suitable for use in Western Blot, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP), Immunofluorescence and similar assays.

We at Novus Biologicals place a lot of emphasis on the kinase signaling pathways. Kinases, or phosphotransferase enzymes play a key role in phosphorylation signaling. Over 500 human protein kinases have so far been discovered. They play essential roles in glucose metabolism, apoptosis, lipid transport, cell migration, cellular differentiation and other cellular functions.

The Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) are a family of mammalian transcription factors which are expressed in response to low cellular oxygen concentrations (hypoxia). Three human hypoxia inducible factors have been identified, HIF-1, HIF-2 and HIF-3, each having an alpha and a beta subunit.

Obesity, diabetes and metabolic disorders are dramatically on the increase, linked to disorders such as heart disease, stroke and cancer. To combat this, research groups are studying metabolism at both a cellular and a systemic level.

Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1) is a highly conserved heterodimeric transcription factor. Novus' antibody catalogue contains an extensive range of both HIF-1 alpha and HIF-1 beta, useful for hypoxia, angiogenesis, cancer and many other areas of research.

The ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are a superfamily of transmembrane proteins which play an essential role in membrane transport in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In humans, ABC transporters have been implicated in many conditions. For example, ABCA1 antibody research has shown mutations in the ABCA1 gene can cause Tangier disease, while the ABCB family causes multiple drug resistance.

GAPDH antibodies are commonly used as a loading control, due to GAPDH's widespread function as a house-keeping protein. As a leading scientific research antibody supplier, Novus Biologicals offer a wide range of GAPDH antibody reagents and support products.
