DescriptionChIPAb+™ Phospho-CREB (Ser133) - ChIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set
OverviewAll ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction.
The ChIPAb+ Phospho-CREB (Ser133) set includes the Phospho-CREB (Ser133) antibody, a negative control normal rabbit IgG, and qPCR primers which amplify a 64 bp region of human cFos CRE. The Phospho-CREB (Ser133) and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Phospho-CREB (Ser133)-associated chromatin.

Background InformationCREB is a β-ZIP transcription factor that activates target genes through cAMP response elements. CREB is able to mediate signals from numerous physiological stimuli, resulting in regulation of a broad array of cellular responses. While CREB is expressed in numerous tissues, it plays a large regulatory role in the nervous system. CREB is believed to play a key role in promoting neuronal survival, precursor proliferation, neurite outgrowth and neuronal differentiation in certain neuronal populations. CREB promotes outgrowth and differentiation as a mediator of neurotrophin pathways. CREB is able to selectively activate numerous downstream genes through interactions with different dimerization partners. CREB is activated by phosphorylation at Ser133 by various signaling pathways including Erk, Ca2+ and stress signaling.

Key Applications
  • Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunoprecipitation
  • Western Blotting
  • Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
Application NotesChromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Representative lot data.
Sonicated chromatin prepared from 293T cells (5 X 10E6 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using either 4 µg of Normal Rabbit IgG, (Part No. P64B), or 4 µg of Anti-Phospho-CREB (Ser133) antibody (Part No. CS204400) and the Magna ChIP™ A Kit (Cat. # 17-610).
Successful immunoprecipitation of Phospho-CREB (Ser133) antibody associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers cFos CRE (Part No. CS203203) as a positive locus, and cFos downstream 4Kb as a negative locus (Figure 2). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.
Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
Untreated (lane 1) and Forskolin-treated (Lane 2) NIH/3T3 lysates were resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF, and probed with anti-phospho-CREB (Ser133) (1:1,000 dilution).
Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Arrow indicates phosphorylated CREB (Figure 3).
Immunoprecipitation:
10 µL from a representative lot of this antibody was shown to immunoprecipitate phosphorylated CREB from 500 µg of cells treated with 50 mM forskolin.
Immunohistochemistry: A 1:1000 dilution of a representative lot detected phosphorylated CREB in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal and ischemic rat brain sections.
Electrophoretic Mobility Shift:
A representative lot of this antibody has been shown to gel shift by an independent laboratory.
Biological Information
ImmunogenKLH-conjugated synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino acids including and encompassing phosphorylated Ser133 of CREB.
Epitopephospho-Ser133
ConcentrationPlease refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
HostRabbit
SpecificityRecognizes p43 phosphorylated CREB. May also recognize p30 and p38 kDa proteins. The p30 & p38 proteins may be phosphorylated CREM and ATF-1 respectively, since the two proteins share significant homology to the phosphorylated CREB immunizing peptide.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. This protein binds as a homodimer to the cAMP-responsive element, an octameric palindrome. The protein is phosphorylated by several protein kinases, and induces transcription of genes in response to hormonal stimulation of the cAMP pathway. Alternate splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene Symbol
  • CREB1
  • CREB
  • MGC9284
Modifications
  • Phosphorylation
Purification MethodPurified by protein A-Sepharose followed by immunoadsorbant chromatography using an unphosphorylated CREB affinity gel column.
UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION:This protein binds the cAMP response element (CRE), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. CREB stimulates transcription on binding to the CRE. Transciption activation is enhanced by the TORC coactivators which act independently of Ser-133 phosphorylation. Implicated in synchronization of circadian rhythmicity.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with PPRC1. Binds DNA as a dimer. This dimer is stabilized by magnesium ions. Interacts, through the bZIP domain, with the coactivators TORC1/CRTC1, TORC2/CRTC2 and TORC3/CRTC3. When phosphorylated on Ser-133, binds CREBBP By similarity.
SUBCELLULAR: Nucleus.
PMT:Stimulated by phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of both Ser-133 and Ser-142 in the SCN regulates the activity of CREB and participates in circadian rhythm generation. Phosphorylation of Ser-133 allows CREBBP binding By similarity. Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bZIP family.
Contains 1 bZIP domain.
Contains 1 KID (kinase-inducible) domain
Molecular WeightDetects CREB only when phosphorylated on Ser133 (~43 kDa). May recognize ATF-1 (~38 kDa) and CREM (~30 kDa) as the two proteins share significant homology to the phosphorylated immunizing peptide.
