Scientific Background: MDM2 is a nuclear phosphoprotein that binds and inhibits transactivation by p53, as part of an autoregulatory negative feedback loop (1). Overexpression of the MDM2 gene product can lead to excessive inactivation of p53 thereby diminishing its tumor suppressor function. The inactivation of p53 is mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of MDM2 which targets p53 for proteasomal degradation. MDM2 also affects the cell cycle, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis through interactions with other proteins, including retinoblastoma 1 and ribosomal protein L5 (2). Amplification of MDM2 is frequently observed in human sarcomas and this is consistent with the hypothesis that MDM2 binds to p53 which then leads to escape from p53-regulated growth control.

Product Notes
The MDM2 mdm2 (Catalog #AAA14244) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 1-118 with tag His tag!!Expression System||E.coli!!Source Note||Recombinant human MDM2 (1-118) was expressed in E. coli cells. AAA Biotech's MDM2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MDM2 mdm2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MDM2, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
