Product Type Specific: Protein kinase phosphosite-specific antibody

Antibody Code: PK845

Antibody Target Type: Phosphosite-specific

Antibody Phosphosite: Y1054+Y1055

Protein UniProt: P29597

Protein SigNET: P29597

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human TYK2 sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04AQJ99

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: EPA(pY)IRD(bA)C

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues E289 to D295; In the N-terminal half of the kinase. This is the major in vivo site of phosphorylation of Tyk2.

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.This antibody was also subject to negative purification over phosphotyrosine-agarose.

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

Antibody Concentration: 1.0 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, 0.05% Thimerasol

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Potency: Medium to strong immunoreactivity of a target-sized protein by Western blotting in HepG2 cells, and more weakly in MCF7 cells.

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human

Antibody Positive Control: The observed molecular mass of the processed target protein on SDS-PAGE gels is reported to be around 130-140 kDa.

Antibody Specificity: High

Antibody Cross Reactivity: No significant cross-reactive proteins detected in A431 cells, but strong ~75 KDa proteins were detected in MCF7 and HepG2 cells, and ~65 and 80 KDa proteins that were inducible with insulin were also strong in MCF7 cells.

Scientific Background: Tyk2 is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and JakA family. Phosphorylation of Y1054 and Y1055 increases phosphotransferase activity. Tyk2 mediates intracellular signal transduction from Type I interferon-alpha/beta receptor (IFN) signalling and phosphorylates the interferon-alpha/beta receptor alpha chain. Missense mutations in this gene have been found in colon and ovarian tumours.
