rabbit Anti-c-Jun, NT (Transcription Factor AP-1, Activator Protein 1, AP1, Proto-oncogene c-Jun, V-jun Avian Sarcoma Virus 17 Oncogene Homolog, p39, JUN) Monoclonal Antibody [Clone:60A8]

c-Jun is a member of the Jun Family composed of c-Jun, JunB and JunD, and is a component of the transcription factor AP-1. AP-1 is composed dimers of Fos, Jun and ATF family members, and binds and activates transcription at TRE/AP-1 elements (Reviewed in 1). Extracellular signals including growth factors, chemokines and extracellualar stress activate AP-1-dependent transcription. The transcriptional activity of c-Jun is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser63 and Ser73 through SAPK/JNK (reviewed in 2). Knock-out studies in mice have shown that c-Jun is essential for embryogenesis (3), and subsequent studies have demonstrated roles for c-Jun in various tissues and developmental processes including axon regeneration (4), liver regeneration (5) and T cell development (6). AP-1 regulated genes exert diverse biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, as well as transformation, invasion and metastasis, depending on cell type and the context of the cell (7-9 ). Other target genes regulate survival as well as hypoxia and angiogenesis (8,10). c-Jun has emerged as promising therapeutic target for cancer, vascular remodeling, acute inflammation, as well as rheumatoid arthritis (11-13).
