Description
Immunogen
ETS domain-containing protein Elk-3 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-ELK3 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for use to locate ELK3 DNA binding sites on a genome wide scale by a chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiment.
Anti-ELK3 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions
ELK3 (ETS-domain protein) gene encodes a protein belonging to the Ets oncoprotein family. It is localized to human chromosome 12q22–q23. It functions as a transcriptional repressor under basal conditions. It is downregulated in hypoxia and is involved in the regulation of several genes, including c-fos, vascular endothelial growth factor, egr-1 (early growth response protein 1) and HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α). It forms a ternary complex with Elk-1 and Sap-1 transcription factors and plays a role in early response of quiescent cells to growth factor stimulation. It also functions in angiogenesis.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
Other Notes
Corresponding Antigen APREST84746
