    Product Information

    Product Description

    The PathScan® Phospho-mTOR (Ser2448) Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of mTOR protein phosphorylated at Ser2448. A mTOR mouse antibody has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, mTOR (phospho and nonphospho) protein is captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, a phospho-mTOR (Ser2448) rabbit antibody is added to detect the captured phospho-mTOR protein. Anti-rabbit IgG, HRP-linked Antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate, TMB is added to develop color. The magnitude of the absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of mTOR phosphorylated at Ser2448.

    *Antibodies in this kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    PathScan® Phospho-mTOR (Ser2448) Sandwich ELISA Kit #7976 detects endogenous levels of human mTOR protein when phosphorylated at Ser2448 as shown in Figure 1. The kit sensitivity is shown in Figure 2. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

    Background

    The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR, FRAP, RAFT) is a Ser/Thr protein kinase (1-3) that functions as an ATP and amino acid sensor to balance nutrient availability and cell growth (4,5). When sufficient nutrients are available, mTOR responds to a phosphatidic acid-mediated signal to transmit a positive signal to p70 S6 kinase and participate in the inactivation of the eIF4E inhibitor, 4E-BP1 (6). These events result in the translation of specific mRNA subpopulations. mTOR is phosphorylated at Ser2448 via the PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway and autophosphorylated at Ser2481 (7,8). mTOR plays a key role in cell growth and homeostasis and may be abnormally regulated in tumors. For these reasons, mTOR is currently under investigation as a potential target for anti-cancer therapy (9).
