C/EBP alpha helps regulate terminal adipocyte differentiation by turning on fat-specific genes required for the synthesis，uptake，and storage of long chain fatty acids. Studies have shown that C/EBP delta and C/EBP beta play an early catalytic role in the differentiation pathway，relaying the effects of the hormonal stimulants DEX and MIX in a cascade-like fashion，leading to the activation of the gene encoding C/EBP alpha.
应用类型
Western blot analysis （1-4 ug/ml）. However， the optimal conditions should be determined individually. 3T3 cell lysate can be used as a positive control.
免疫原
Synthetic peptide surrounding amino acid 325 of rat C/EBP alpha.
