Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-IGF-I Receptor β (Tyr1135) (DA7A8) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of IGF-I receptor only when phosphorylated at Tyr1135. This antibody cross-reacts with Tyr1150 of insulin receptor and may also cross-react with other overexpressed related tyrosine-phosphorylated tyrosine kinases.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr1135 of human IGF-I receptor β.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from MCF7 cells, untreated or stimulated with IGF-I, using Phospho-IGF-I Receptor β (Tyr1135) (DA7A8) Rabbit mAb (upper) and IGF-I Receptor β Antibody #3027 (lower).

Background

Type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that is widely expressed in many cell lines and cell types within fetal and postnatal tissues (1-3). Receptor autophosphorylation follows binding of the IGF-I and IGF-II ligands. Three tyrosine residues within the kinase domain (Tyr1131, Tyr1135, and Tyr1136) are the earliest major autophosphorylation sites (4). Phosphorylation of these three tyrosine residues is necessary for kinase activation (5,6). Insulin receptors (IRs) share significant structural and functional similarity with IGF-I receptors, including the presence of an equivalent tyrosine cluster (Tyr1146/1150/1151) within the kinase domain activation loop. Tyrosine autophosphorylation of IRs is one of the earliest cellular responses to insulin stimulation (7). Autophosphorylation begins with phosphorylation at Tyr1146 and either Tyr1150 or Tyr1151, while full kinase activation requires triple tyrosine phosphorylation (8).
