General description
Serum response factor (UniProt: P11831; also known as SRF) is encoded by the SRF gene (Gene ID: 6722) in human. SRF is a transcription factor that binds to a serum response element (SRE) associated with a variety of genes, including immediate early genes such as c-Fos, FosB, JunB, Egr-1 and -2; neuronal genes such as nurr1 and nur77. It binds to DNA as a dimer and its DNA binding region is localized in amino acids 133-222. By regulating the expression of several genes, it controls cell growth and differentiation, neuronal transmission, and muscle development. Together with Myocardin Related Transcription Factor A (MRTFA) transcription coactivator, it controls the expression of genes regulating cytoskeleton development, morphogenesis, and cell migration. It is also required for cardiac differentiation and maturation. SRF is shown to be activated by a variety of agents, including serum, lysophosphatidic acid, lipopolysaccharide, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), and cytokines. Keratinocytes in normal human and mouse skin are reported to express high levels of SRF, but its expression is strongly downregulated in the hyperproliferative epidermis of wounded and psoriatic skin. Loss of SRF is known to disrupt epidermal homeostasis. Mice lacking SRF in cardiac tissue display lethal cardiac defects between E10.5 and E13.5. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Clone 1H14 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Serum response factor (SRF). It targets an epitope within 21 amino acids from the C-terminal half.
Physical form
Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.
Preparation Note
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
Other Notes
Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
