    Product Information

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser235/236) Antibody can be used in high throughput kinase assays and drug discovery applications. This antibody detects peptides derived from S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylated at Ser235/236.

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser235/236 of human ribosomal protein S6. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    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).~Description: This antibody is formulated in PBS (no BSA/no glycerol) and quality controlled for use in ELISA and other drug discovery applications. This is a sample antibody and intended for use by drug discovery scientists.Please direct inquires for bulk pricing of this antibody, peptide substrates, or protocols to [email protected].
