Phospho-Tyk2 (Tyr1054/1055) Antibody #9321

Applications Reactivity Sensitivity MW (kDa) Source
W H (M) (R) Endogenous 140 Rabbit

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse  R=Rat
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-Tyk2 (Tyr1054/1055) Antibody detects endogenous levels of Tyk2 only when phosphorylated at tyrosine1054/1055. The antibody does not cross-react with Tyk2 phosphorylated at other sites.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr1054/1055 of human Tyk2. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, untreated or interferon-alpha treated for the indicated times, using Phospho-Tyk2 (Tyr1054/1055) Antibody (upper) or Tyk2 antibody (lower).

Background

Tyk2, a member of the Jak family of protein tyrosine kinases, associates with and is activated by receptors for many cytokines including IL-13, the IL-6 family, IL-10, and interferon-alpha and beta (1-3). Following ligand binding, Tyk2 is activated by phosphorylation on Tyr1054 and/or Tyr1055 (4). Tyk2 is required for the tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat3 in the IFN-beta signaling cascade (5).
