Anti-Mdmx Antibody, clone 8C6

Mdmx is a Mdm2-related protein that like Mdm2 has been shown to bind to and inhibit p53, although not as well as Mdm2. This interaction with p53 occurs via a binding domain located in the N-terminal region of the protein. Mdmx has been shown to counteract Mdm2-dependent p53 degradation and to stabilize p53 in its inactive form. Although Mdmx has significant structural similarity to Mdm2 E3 ubiquitin ligase, most studies have not been able to ascribe E3 ligase function to Mdmx.
