Applications Reactivity Sensitivity MW (kDa) Source
W IP IHC-P F H M R Mk Endogenous 39 Rabbit

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IP=Immunoprecipitation  IHC-P=Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)  F=Flow Cytometry
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse  R=Rat  Mk=Monkey
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-CrkL (Tyr207) Antibody detects endogenous levels of CrkL only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 207. The antibody cross-reacts with CrkII phosphorylated at tyrosine 221.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr207 of human CrkL. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from K562 cells, untreated or calf intestinal phosphatase (CIP)-treated, using Phospho-CrkL (Tyr207) Antibody (upper) or CrkL Antibody #3182 (lower).

IHC-P (paraffin)

IHC-P (paraffin)

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human lung adenocarcinoma, showing membrane and cytoplasmic localization, using Phospho-CrkL (Tyr207) Antibody.

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of K562 cells, untreated (blue) or STI571 treated (green), using Phospho-CrkL (Tyr207) Antibody compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).


Background

CrkL, a 39 kDa adaptor protein, has a key regulatory role in hematopoietic cells. CrkL has one SH2 and two SH3 domains, with 60% homology to CrkII (1). The amino-terminal SH3 domain of CrkL binds proteins such as C3G, SOS, PI3K, c-Abl and BCR/Abl. The SH2 domain of CrkL can bind to tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins such as Cbl, HEF1, CAS and paxillin (2,3). CrkL is involved in various signaling cascades initiated by different cytokines and growth factors. The biological outcomes of the Crk-activated signal transduction include the modulation of cell adhesion, cell migration and immune cell responses (4). CrkL is a prominent substrate of the BCR/Abl oncoprotein in chronic myelogenous leukemia and binds to both BCR/Abl and c-Abl (5). CrkL is prominently and constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in CML neutrophils and is not phosphorylated in normal neutrophils. Moreover, stimulation of normal neutrophils with cytokines and agonists does not induce tyrosine phosphorylation of this protein (6), indicating that it may be a useful target for therapeutic intervention or as a disease marker. Tyr207 in CrkL is the BCR/Abl phosphorylation site (7).
