p73 Antibody (5B789) [Alexa Fluor® 488] Summary

• Immunogen: This antibody was raised against full-length human p73, and reacts with an epitope that is located on the C-terminal region of human p73 only. It does not cross react with mouse p73 or with p53.
• Specificity: Caspase-cleaved p73 fragments, including 55 kDa and 45 kDa, have been described (Sayan et al, 2008). The ability of a given antibody to recognize a p73 fragment will depend on whether or not the antibody epitope is contained in the fragment. It does not cross react with mouse p73 or with p53.

Background

p73 is a transcription factor that shares a significant amino acid identity with p53 and p63 (1). p73 and p63 can both activate p53-responsive genes and induce apoptosis upon over expression (2) Unlike p53, p73 is not induced by DNA damage and is not a target for inactivation by viral oncoproteins (3). Similar to p63, p73 has an additional coding region in the C-terminus (not found in p53) that can undergo complex alternative splicing giving rise to 3 splice forms (alpha, beta, and gamma) (4). Activation of p73 requires the presence of functional c-Abl. It has also be found that mutant p53 can bind to and inactivate p73 (5).
