Product Information

Product Usage Information

Application Dilution
Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry) 1:200 - 1:400
Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) 1:50

Storage

Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-Pyruvate Dehydrogenase α1 (Ser293) (E4V9L) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of pyruvate dehydrogenase α1 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser293. Based on amino acid sequence comparisons, this antibody is predicted to detect endogenous levels of pyruvate dehydrogenase α2 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser291.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser293 of human pyruvate dehydrogenase α1 protein.

Product Description

This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Phospho-Pyruvate Dehydrogenase α1 (Ser293) (E4V9L) Rabbit mAb #37115.

Background

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate and CoA into acetyl-CoA and CO2 in the presence of NAD+. Acetyl-CoA then goes into the citric acid cycle where it reacts with oxaloacetate to form citrate. The reaction of oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate serves as a critical link between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. In mammalian cells, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is located in the mitochondrial matrix (1). This complex is composed of three enzymes: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) consists of two subunits: α and β. This enzyme catalyzes the removal of CO2 from pyruvate. Mutations in the α subunits of pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) lead to congenital defects that are usually associated with lactic acidosis, neurodegeneration, and early death (2).

Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 phosphorylates pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) α1 subunit at Ser293 to inactivate its activity (3,4). This phosphorylation contributes to the tumor metabolic reprogramming toward glycolysis in hypoxia by inhibiting the citric acid cycle (4).
