Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-Stat6 (Tyr641) Antibody detects endogenous levels of Stat6 only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 641. The antibody does not cross-react with the corresponding phospho-tyrosine residues of other Stat proteins.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr641 of human Stat6. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from Daudi cells, treated with IL-4 (100 ng/ml) for the indicated times using Phospho-Stat6 (Tyr641) Antibody (upper) or Stat6 antibody (lower).

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of Ramos cells, untreated (blue) or IL-4 treated (green), using Phospho-Stat6 (Tyr641) Antibody compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).

IF-IC

IF-IC

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of ACHN cells serum-starved (left) or IL-4-treated (right) using Phospho-Stat6(Tyr641) Antibody (green). Blue pseudocolor= DRAQ5® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).


Background

Upon activation by Janus kinases, Stat6 translocates to the nucleus where it regulates cytokine-induced gene expression. Stat6 is activated via phosphorylation at Tyr641 and is required for responsiveness to IL-4 and IL-13 (1-4). In addition, Stat6 is activated by IFN-α in B cells, where it forms transcriptionally active complexes with Stat2 and p48 (5,6). Protein phosphatase 2A is also involved in regulation of IL-4-mediated Stat6 signaling (7).
