Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK239-1

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: P22455

Protein SigNET: P22455

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human FGFR4 sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01AUH90

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CVEALDKVLLAVSEE

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues V740 to E753; Kinase last alpha-chain

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.
Antibody Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human; Mouse

Antibody Positive Control: The observed molecular mass of the processed target protein on SDS-PAGE gels is reported to be around 85-105 kDa.

Antibody Specificity: Medium

Antibody Cross Reactivity: Weak immunoreactivity on protein dot blots with recombinant human FGFR1, very weak immunoreactivity with FGFR2, and no immunoreactivity with FGFR3.

Scientific Background: FGFR4 is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and FGFR family. It is a receptor kinase that is involved in recognizing fibroblast growth factors to control cell migration, differentiation, proliferation, and regulating lipid metabolism. It is activated by binding of fibroblast growth factor (FGF), which induces dimerization and autophosphorylation. Interaction with PLCG1 with FGFR4 is mediated through autophosphorylation of Y754. FGFR4 may be an oncoprotein (OP). Defects in FGFR4 have been linked to alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMS), breast fibroadenomas, gliomatosis cerebri, and anaplastic astrocytomas.
