Anti c ebpα

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Anti-C/EBPα is a laboratory reagent used to detect the expression of the C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha) transcription factor in biological samples. C/EBPα plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell differentiation and proliferation. This antibody can be used in various techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry, to analyze the presence and distribution of C/EBPα in different cell types and tissues.

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.
