Caveolin 2 (Phospho-Tyr27) Antibody

Catalog Number:

11778

Amount:

100μg

Price:

$319

Swiss-Prot No:

Swiss-Prot#: P51636;
NCBI Gene#: 858;
NCBI Protein#: NP_001224.1.

Form of Antibody:

Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Storage/Stability:

Immunogen:

Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of tyrosine 27 (L-E-Y(p)-A-D) derived from Human Caveolin 2.

Purification:

Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy usi

Specificity/Sensitivity:

The antibody detects endogenous levels of Caveolin 2 only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 27.

Applications:

WB

Background:

The protein encoded by this gene is a major component of the inner surface of caveolae, small invaginations of the plasma membrane, and is involved in essential cellular functions, including signal transduction, lipid metabolism, cellular growth control and apoptosis. This protein may function as a tumor suppressor. CAV1 and CAV2 are located next to each other on chromosome 7 and express colocalizing proteins that form a stable hetero-oligomeric complex. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. By using alternative initiation codons in the same reading frame, two isoforms (alpha and beta) are encoded by one transcript.
