Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Stat3 (79D7) Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated) recognizes endogenous levels of total Stat3 protein.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a GST-Stat3 fusion protein corresponding to the carboxy-terminal sequence of mouse Stat3 protein.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from NIH/3T3 and HeLa cells using Stat3 (79D7) Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated). Streptavidin-HRP #3999 was used for western detection.

Description

This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to biotin under optimal conditions. The biotinylated antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Stat3 (79D7) Rabbit mAb #4904.

Background

The Stat3 transcription factor is an important signaling molecule for many cytokines and growth factor receptors (1) and is required for murine fetal development (2). Stat3 is constitutively activated in a number of human tumors (3,4) and possesses oncogenic potential (5) and anti-apoptotic activities (3). Stat3 is activated by phosphorylation at Tyr705, which induces dimerization, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding (6,7). Transcriptional activation seems to be regulated by phosphorylation at Ser727 through the MAPK or mTOR pathways (8,9). Stat3 isoform expression appears to reflect biological function as the relative expression levels of Stat3α (86 kDa) and Stat3β (79 kDa) depend on cell type, ligand exposure, or cell maturation stage (10). It is notable that Stat3β lacks the serine phosphorylation site within the carboxy-terminal transcriptional activation domain (8).
