Advanced Validation
- VALIDATION:
Recombinant Protein Test (Figure 3): Anti-XBP-1 antibodies (3687) detected human XBP-1 recombinant protein at different concentrations.
Regulated expression validation (Figure 12): XBP-1 expression detected by anit-XBP-1 antibodies was up-regulated by adenovirus encoding beta-gal but was down-regulated by adenovirus encoding human GRP78 in ob/ob mice.
- ISOFORMS: Human XBP-1 has two isoforms, including isoform 1 (261aa, 29kD) and isoform 2 (376aa, 40kD). Mouse XBP-1 also has two isoforms, including isoform 1 (267aa, 29.6kD) and isoform 2 (371aa, 40kD). And Rat XBP-1 has two isoforms as well, including isoform 1 (267aa, 30kD) and isoform 2 (371aa, 40kD). 3687 can detect human, mouse and rat.

Background
- XBP-1 Antibody: X box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) is a key protein in the mammalian unfolded protein response (UPR) that protects the cell against the stress of malfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Upon sensing unfolded proteins, an ER transmembrane endonuclease and kinase termed IRE1p is activated and excises an intron from XBP-1 mRNA. The spliced XBP-1 mRNA results in a 371 amino acid protein (XBP-1s) which is then translocated to the nucleus where it binds to the regulatory elements of downstream genes. Together with other UPR transcription factors such as ATF6, XBP-1 stimulates the production of ER stress proteins including the ER resident protein chaperones glucose regulated protein (GRP) 78 and GRP94.
