Phospho creb

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Phospho-CREB is a lab equipment product that detects the phosphorylated form of the cAMP response element-binding (CREB) protein. CREB is a transcription factor that plays a key role in cellular processes such as memory formation, synaptic plasticity, and cell survival. The phosphorylation of CREB at specific serine residues is a crucial regulatory mechanism that modulates its activity and function.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
