Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse  R=Rat
Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Stat5 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Stat5α and β protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibdies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to an amino-terminal region within Stat5. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa, K562 and TF-1 cells, using Stat5 Antibody.

Background

Stat5 is activated in response to a wide variety of ligands including IL-2, GM-CSF, growth hormone and prolactin. Phosphorylation at Tyr694 is obligatory for Stat5 activation (1,2). This phosphorylation is mediated by Src upon erythropoietin stimulation (3). Stat5 has been found to be constitutively active in some leukemic cell types (4). Phosphorylated Stat5 is found in some endothelial cells treated with IL-3, which suggests its involvement in angiogenesis and cell motility (5). Stat5α and β are independently regulated and activated in various cell types. For instance, both isoforms are activated in response to IFN-α in B cells, but only Stat5α is phosphorylated in response to IFN-α in HeLa cells (6).
