Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-CREB (Ser133) (87G3) Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated) detects endogenous levels of CREB only when phosphorylated at Ser133. The antibody also detects the phosphorylated form of the CREB-related protein ATF-1.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser133 of human CREB.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from SK-N-MC cells, untreated or Forskolin- and IBMX-treated, using Phospho-CREB (Ser133) (87G3) Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated).

Description

This Cell Signaling Technology (CST) antibody is conjugated to biotin under optimal conditions. The unconjugated Phospho-CREB (Ser133) (87G3) Rabbit mAb #9198 reacts with human, mouse and rat phospho-CREB (Ser133) protein. CST expects that Phospho-CREB (Ser133) (87G3) Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated) #4095 will also recognize phospho-CREB (Ser133) in these species.

Background

CREB is a bZIP transcription factor that activates target genes through cAMP response elements. CREB is able to mediate signals from numerous physiological stimuli, resulting in regulation of a broad array of cellular responses. While CREB is expressed in numerous tissues, it plays a large regulatory role in the nervous system. CREB is believed to play a key role in promoting neuronal survival, precursor proliferation, neurite outgrowth, and neuronal differentiation in certain neuronal populations (1-3). Additionally, CREB signaling is involved in learning and memory in several organisms (4-6). CREB is able to selectively activate numerous downstream genes through interactions with different dimerization partners. CREB is activated by phosphorylation at Ser133 by various signaling pathways including Erk, Ca2+, and stress signaling. Some of the kinases involved in phosphorylating CREB at Ser133 are p90RSK, MSK, CaMKIV, and MAPKAPK-2 (7-9).
