Product Name :
Raf1 (Phospho-S259) polyclonal antibody Background :
Raf-1 is a ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic protein with intrinsic serine/threonine kinase activity. Raf-1, or c-Raf, is the cellular homolog of v-Raf, the product of the transforming gene of the 3611 strain of murine sarcoma virus. The unregulated kinase activity of the v-Raf protein is associated with cellular transformation and mitogenesis. Raf-1 is normally suppressed by its regulatory N-terminal domain. Raf-1 is activated in response to a variety of tyrosine kinase receptors as well as in response to pp60v-Src expression. Specifically, Raf-1 is phosphorylated in the catalytic domain at Ser 338 and, to a lesser extent, Ser 339. This phosphorylation requires the co-activation of PI 3-kinase and the Ras signaling pathway. Raf-1 is also phosphorylated on Tyr 340 and 341, which induces the phosphorylation of MEK. Phosphorylation of Ser 621 is essential for the catalytic activity of Raf-1 and downregulation by c-AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). PKA also phosphorylates Raf-1 on Ser 43 and Ser 259. PKA phosphorylation of Ser 259 inhibits Raf-1 and decreases the phosphorylation necessary for Raf-1 activation at Ser 338. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
