BD, 611182, Purified Mouse Anti-SATB1 14/SATB1

The 14/SATB1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 that is encoded by the SATB1 (SATB homeobox 1) gene. Central to the formation of nucleosomes, which consist of octameric histone cores with defined segments of chromatin wound around them, are the interactions of nucleosomes with nuclear matrix components. Specific genomic DNA segments that interact with the nuclear matrix are called scaffold or matrix attachment regions (SARs or MARs). SATB1 is a homeodomain MAR binding protein. It recognizes ATC sequences that consist of stretches of A's, T's, and C's on one DNA strand. SATB1 is expressed by thymocytes (especially single positive CD4+ thymocytes), T and B lymphocytes, NK cells, and macrophages. SATB1 can recruit chromatin-remodeling factors and thereby regulate chromatin structure and gene expression. Recently it has been reported that repression of SATB1 was essential for the phenotype and function of mouse regulatory T cells but inhibitory for the establishment of transcriptional programs expressed by effector T cells.

Store undiluted at -20°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
4. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
