Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot. Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.

Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-NuMA (Ser395) Antibody detects endogenous levels of NuMA protein only when phosphorylated at Ser395.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser395 of human NuMA. Antibodies are purified using protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from M059K cells, untreated or UV-treated, using Phospho-NuMA (Ser395) Antibody.

Background

The nuclear mitotic apparatus protein (NuMA) is a coiled coil protein involved in the formation and maintenance of the mitotic spindle. NuMA plays a role in chromatin organization during interphase, which influences mammary epithelial differentiation (1,2). During apoptosis, carboxy-terminal cleavage of NuMA may amplify signaling in the cell death pathway (2). NuMA is phosphorylated at numerous sites, with phosphorylation at Ser395 occurring in an ATM/ATR-dependent manner in response to DNA damage (3,4).

Phospho-NuMA (Ser395) Antibody is directed at a site that was identified at Cell Signaling Technology (CST) using PhosphoScan®, CST's LC-MS/MS platform for modification site discovery. Phosphorylation at Ser395 was discovered using an ATM/ATR substrate antibody and was shown to be induced by UV treatment. Please visit PhosphoSitePlus®, CST's modification site knowledgebase, at www.phosphosite.org for more information.
