    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology (CST) antibody is conjugated to biotin under optimal conditions. The unconjugated Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser240/244) (61H9) Rabbit mAb #4838 reacts with human, mouse, rat and monkey phospho-S6 ribosomal protein (Ser240/244). CST expects that Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser240/244) (61H9) Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated) will also recognize phospho-S6 ribosomal protein (Ser240/244) in these species.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser240/244) (61H9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Biotinylated) detects endogenous levels of ribosomal protein S6 only when phosphorylated at Ser240 and Ser244.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser240 and Ser244 of human S6 ribosomal protein.

    Background

    One way that growth factors and mitogens effectively promote sustained cell growth and proliferation is by upregulating mRNA translation (1,2). Growth factors and mitogens induce the activation of p70 S6 kinase and the subsequent phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein. Phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein correlates with an increase in translation of mRNA transcripts that contain an oligopyrimidine tract in their 5' untranslated regions (2). These particular mRNA transcripts (5'TOP) encode proteins involved in cell cycle progression, as well as ribosomal proteins and elongation factors necessary for translation (2,3). Important S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation sites include several residues (Ser235, Ser236, Ser240, and Ser244) located within a small, carboxy-terminal region of S6 protein (4,5).

    Alternate Names

    40S ribosomal protein S6; Phosphoprotein NP33; ribosomal protein S6; RPS6; RS6; S6; S6 ribosomal protein; Small ribosomal subunit protein eS6
