Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-CREB (Ser133) (87G3) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of CREB only when phosphorylated at serine 133. The antibody also detects the phosphorylated form of the CREB-related protein, ATF-1.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ser133 of human CREB.

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from SK-N-MC cells, untreated or forskolin- and FGF-treated, using Phospho-CREB (Ser133) (87G3) Rabbit mAb (upper) or CREB (48H2) Rabbit mAb #9197 (lower).

IHC-P (paraffin)

IF-F

Conofocal immunofluorescent images of rat dentate gyrus, either sham-operated (left) or 15 min ischemia followed by 30 min (center) and 4 h (right) reperfusion, labeled with Phospho-CREB (Ser133) (87G3) Rabbit mAb (red), Neurofilament-L (DA2) Mouse mAb #2835 (blue) and Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser235/236) (2F9) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) #4854.

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).
