Gene Information

human ... USF1(7391)

General description

USF1 is a leucine zipper transcription factor that forms a part of complexes that interact with fatty acid synthase (FAS) insulin response sequence (IRS). Valproic acid (VPA) is known to inhibit adipogenesis by repressing USF1-induced synthesis of fatty acids. Studies have reported that USF1 gene is associated with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL).
Rabbit Anti-USF1 (AB2) antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, rabbit, canine, chicken, pig, and bovine USF1.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human USF1

Application

Rabbit Anti-USF1 (AB2) can be used for western blot applications at 1.25 μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

USF1 encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family, and can function as a cellular transcription factor. The encoded protein can activate transcription through pyrimidine-rich initiator (Inr) elements and E-box motifs. This gene has been linked to familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL).

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: DPTSVAIASIQSAATFPDPNVKYVFRTENGGQVMYRVIQVSEGQLDGQTE

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

VPA (valproic acid), a short-chain fatty acid that is a HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor, is known to suppress adipogenesis. In the present study, we identified the molecular mechanism of VPA-mediated suppression of adipogenesis in adipocytes. VPA suppressed the accumulation of
