Anti-ATF2 (Thr52) Antibody
Our Anti-ATF2 (Thr52) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human and mouse ATF2 (Thr52) and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB.
Western blot of UACC903 melanoma cell line lysate (DMSO) showing specific immunolabeling of the ~ 72 kDa ATF2 protein phosphorylated at Thr52. Immunolabeling is reduced by treatment of the lysate with the PKC catalytic inhibitor Gö6850. Image courtesy of Eric Lau and Ze’ev Ronai.

Product Details
ATF2 (Thr52)
The transcription factor ATF2 is a member of the ATF/CREB family of leucine zipper proteins. In response to stress stimuli, it activates a variety of gene targets that are involved in oncogenesis, and has been correlated with maintenance of a cancer cell phenotype (Vlahopoulos et al., 2008). Inhibiting ATF2 impedes melanoma development and elicits tumor suppressor function (Bhoumik et al., 2008). To act as a tumor suppressor, ATF2 must localize at the mitochondria, and phosphorylation at Thr-52 by PKCε regulates this translocation (Lau et al., 2012).

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Liquid
Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho and non-phosphopeptide affinity columns.
10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

UniProt Summary: Transcriptional activator which regulates the transcription of various genes, including those involved in anti-apoptosis, cell growth, and DNA damage response. Dependent on its binding partner, binds to CRE (cAMP response element) consensus sequences (5'-TGACGTCA-3') or to AP-1 (activator protein 1) consensus sequences (5'-TGACTCA-3'). In the nucleus, contributes to global transcription and the DNA damage response, in addition to specific transcriptional activities that are related to cell development, proliferation and death. In the cytoplasm, interacts with and perturbs HK1- and VDAC1-containing complexes at the mitochondrial outer membrane, thereby impairing mitochondrial membrane potential, inducing mitochondrial leakage and promoting cell death. The phosphorylated form (mediated by ATM) plays a role in the DNA damage response and is involved in the ionizing radiation (IR)-induced S phase checkpoint control and in the recruitment of the MRN complex into the IR-induced foci (IRIF). Exhibits histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity which specifically acetylates histones H2B and H4 in vitro (PubMed:10821277). In concert with CUL3 and RBX1, promotes the degradation of KAT5 thereby attenuating its ability to acetylate and activate ATM. Can elicit oncogenic or tumor suppressor activities depending on the tissue or cell type. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10821277, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15916964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18397884, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22304920}.
