CREB3 Antibody

What is CREB3 and why is it significant in cellular research?

CREB3 (also known as LZIP and Luman) belongs to the bZIP family and ATF subfamily of transcription factors. It is activated through intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) and binds to cAMP response elements (consensus sequence: 5'-GTGACGT[AG][AG]-3') found in numerous viral and cellular promoters. The protein has significant research importance due to its role in regulated cell death (RCD), ER stress response, and viral pathogenesis. Full-length CREB3 (CREB3-FL) is anchored to the nuclear inner membrane where it interacts with lamins and chromatin DNA, while its cleaved form (CREB3-CF) accumulates in the nucleus following activation . CREB3 requires host cell factor C1 (HCFC1) as a coactivator, and its activity and expression are suppressed when the HCFC1-CREB3 complex binds with CREBZF . Recent research has identified CREB3 as a key regulator of karyoptosis, a unique cell death mechanism characterized by nuclear shrinkage and membrane rupture, suggesting potential applications in cancer therapeutics .

How do I select the appropriate CREB3 antibody for my research?

When selecting a CREB3 antibody, consider these methodological criteria:

• Target epitope location: Determine whether your research requires detection of full-length CREB3 (CREB3-FL), cleaved CREB3 (CREB3-CF), or both. Some antibodies target the N-terminal domain (aa 1-230), while others target other regions.

• Application compatibility: Verify the antibody has been validated for your specific application. For example, Proteintech's 11275-1-AP has been validated for Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF/ICC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) .

• Species reactivity: Confirm the antibody detects CREB3 in your experimental model. The 11275-1-AP antibody has verified reactivity with human samples and cited reactivity with mouse samples .

• Validation data: Review published literature that has successfully used the antibody in applications similar to yours. Search for papers that include proper controls such as knockdown/knockout validation .

• Clonality consideration: Polyclonal antibodies like 11275-1-AP offer high sensitivity but potential batch variation, while monoclonal antibodies provide consistent specificity but potentially lower sensitivity.

Always perform preliminary validation experiments with appropriate positive and negative controls before proceeding with critical experiments.

What is the molecular weight range for detecting CREB3 in Western blot applications?

When detecting CREB3 via Western blot, expect to observe bands within the range of 40-64 kDa, although the calculated molecular weight is 44 kDa . This variation occurs due to:

• Post-translational modifications: CREB3 undergoes N-glycosylation and proteolytic processing, resulting in altered migration patterns .

• Isoform detection: Up to two different isoforms have been reported for CREB3, including the alternative splicing product sLZIP (CREB3-dTM) which lacks the transmembrane domain .

• Tissue-specific processing: The observed molecular weight may vary depending on the cell/tissue type due to differential processing of the protein.

For optimal detection, use a gradient gel (4-20%) with a broad molecular weight marker and include positive control lysates from cells known to express CREB3, such as Jurkat or HeLa cells . When troubleshooting inconsistent molecular weights, consider using denaturing agents like urea to address potential protein aggregation, or phosphatase inhibitors to preserve phosphorylated forms.

What are the recommended protocols for detecting CREB3 by Western blot?

For optimal Western blot detection of CREB3, follow this methodological approach:
