Product datasheet Anti-Phosphotyrosine antibody ab50722 2 Images Overview Product name Anti-Phosphotyrosine antibody Description Rabbit polyclonal to Phosphotyrosine Specificity ab50722 recognizes tyrosine phosphorylated proteins. The antibody recognizes the pY-256 random peptide and phospho-L-tyrosine, but does not recognize phospho-L-serine, phosphoLthreonine or L-tyrosine. Tested applications WB, ICC/IF Species reactivity Reacts with: Species independent Immunogen Phospho-L-tyrosine containing random peptide pY-256, conjugated to KLH. Positive control Total cell extract of A431 stimulated by human EGF General notes Antibodies specific for phosphotyrosine are essential tools for the characterization of tyrosine phosphorylation in many signal transduction pathways. Polyclonal antibodies can offer advantages over monoclonals, especially in immunoprecipitation protocols, and can theoretically react with a broader range of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins.

Clonality Polyclonal Isotype IgG Applications 1 Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab50722 in the following tested applications. The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Application Abreviews Notes WB Use a concentration of 0.5 - 1 µg/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 10 kDa. ICC/IF Use a concentration of 5 - 10 µg/ml. Target Relevance The phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues has been shown to be a primary mechanism of signal transduction during normal mitogenesis, cell cycle progression and oncogenic transformation, its role in other areas such as differentiation and gap junction communication, is a matter of active and ongoing research. Antibodies that specifically recognize phosphorylated tyrosine residues have proved to be invaluable to the study of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins and the biochemical pathways in which they function.
