Elk-1 (phospho Ser383) Antibody

CATALOG NUMBER: XPS-1008

Clonality:
Polyclonal
Tested Applications:
WB
Host Species:
Rabbit
Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
Specifications
Host Species:
Rabbit
Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat
Immunogen:
Elk-1 (Ser383) polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acids residues surrounding the phosphorylated Ser383 of human Elk-1.
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
Tested Applications:
WB
Application Note:
Immunolabeling of the Elk-1 protein band in a Western blot of recombinant Elk-1 is blocked by the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding non-phospho-Elk-1. Applications include Dot Blots (DB) and Western Blots (WB). Suitability for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has not yet been determined. Human, mouse and rat have 100% amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for DB and WB.
Specificity:
Elk-1 antibody is specific for ~46k Elk-1 phosphorylated at Ser383 using phospho and dephospho Elk-1 recombinant protein.
Predicted Molecular Weight:
46
Purification:
Affinity Purified
Clonality:
Polyclonal
Physical State:
Liquid
Concentration:
batch dependent
Storage Conditions:
For long term storage -80°C is recommended, but shorter term storage at -20°C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stock solutions are stable for a minimum of 1 year at -20°C.

Ncbi Gene Id Number:
2002
User Note:
Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher.
Background:
Elk-1 is a transcription factor involved in mediating gene transcription in response to growth factors. Elk-1 is thought to be phosphorylated by MAP kinase at Ser383 and phosphorylation at this site is essential for the transcriptional activity of Elk-1. Phosphorylation of Elk-1 has also been implicated in synaptic plasticity in the adult hippocampus.
