Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-FLT3 (Tyr969) (C24D9) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of FLT3 only when phosphorylated at Tyr969. The antibody may cross-react with other tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to the sequence surrounding Tyr969 of human FLT3.
Background
FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3, also called Flk2), is a member of the type III receptor tyrosine kinase family, which includes c-Kit, PDGFR and M-CSF receptors. FLT3 is expressed on early hematopoietic progenitor cells and supports growth and differentiation within the hematopoietic system (1,2). FLT3 is activated after binding with its ligand FL, which results in a cascade of tyrosine autophosphorylation and tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream targets (3). The p85 subunit of PI3 kinase, SHP2, GRB2 and Shc are associated with FLT3 after FL stimulation (4-6). Tyr589/591 is located in the juxtamembrane region of FLT3 and may play an important role in regulation of FLT3 tyrosine kinase activity. Somatic mutations of FLT3 consisting of internal tandem duplications (ITDs) occur in 20% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (7).
Phospho-FLT3 (Tyr969) (C24D9) Rabbit mAb is directed against a previously unpublished FLT3 tyrosine phosphorylation site at Tyr969 that was identified at Cell Signaling Technology (CST) using PhosphoScan®, CST's MS/MS platform for phosphorylation site discovery. Phosphorylation of FLT3 at Tyr969 was observed in various leukemia, lymphoma and carcinoma cell lines and in tumors.
