Biological background
TP53BP1 (Tumor Protein p53-Binding Protein 1), also called 53BP1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TP53BP1 gene. Iwabuchi et al.(1998) mapped the TP53BP1 gene to 15q15-q21 by FISH. Iwabuchi et al.(1994) showed that TP53BP1 binds to the conformationally sensitive central domain of wildtype p53 but not to mutant p53 in vitro. Immunoblot analysis by Iwabuchi et al.(1998) showed that expression of TP53BP1 or TP53BP2 enhances the transactivation function of p53 and induces the expression of p21(CDKN1A). Wang et al.(2002) used small interfering RNA directed against TP53BP1 in mammalian cells to demonstrate that TP53BP1 is a key transducer of the DNA damage checkpoint signal. TP53BP1 was required for p53 accumulation, G2/M checkpoint arrest, and the intra-S-phase checkpoint in response to ionizing radiation.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Flow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- ELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
