    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody is conjugated to mFluor™ UV375 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and formulated at 200 µg/mL. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated #5364

    Fluorescent Properties

    • ← Excitation: 351 nm ← Emission: 387 nm

    Product Usage Information

    SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays.

    Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate.

    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-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser240/244) (D68F8) XP® Rabbit mAb (SignalFlex™ mFluor™ UV375 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of ribosomal protein S6 only when phosphorylated at Ser240 and Ser244.

    Source / Purification

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

    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
