Product details:
Phospho-JAK1 (Y1022) and Total JAK1 ELISA Kit (ab279838) is a very rapid, convenient and sensitive assay kit that can monitor the activation or function of important biological pathways in human cell lysates. By determining phosphorylated JAK1 protein in your experimental model system, you can verify pathway activation in your cell lysates. You can simultaneously measure numerous different cell lysates without spending excess time and effort in performing a Western Blotting analysis.
This Sandwich ELISA kit is an
in vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of human phospho-JAK1 (Y1022) and total JAK1. An anti-pan JAK1 antibody has been coated onto a 96-well plate. Samples are pipetted into the wells and JAK1 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody and the wells are washed. In select wells, rabbit anti-phospho JAK1 (Y1022) antibody is added to detect phosphorylated JAK1. In the remaining wells, biotinylated anti-pan-JAK1 antibody is used to detect pan JAK1. After washing away unbound antibody, HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG or HRP-conjugated Streptavidin is pipetted into the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of JAK1 (Y1022) or pan JAK1 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

JAK1 also known as Janus Kinase 1 plays an essential role in transmitting signals within cells. It is a tyrosine kinase enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa. JAK1 is expressed broadly in various tissues and is involved in cytokine receptor signaling. The kinase activity of JAK1 gets activated upon cytokine binding to its respective receptor which leads to phosphorylation events and downstream signaling cascades.
Biological function summary
This enzyme participates significantly in the immune response and hematopoiesis by being part of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway complex. When activated JAK1 phosphorylates specific tyrosine residues on the receptor creating docking sites for STAT proteins which then get phosphorylated by JAK1. This phosphorylation allows STAT proteins to dimerize and translocate to the nucleus affecting gene expression involved in growth survival and differentiation processes.
Pathways
JAK1 is importantly engaged in the JAK-STAT pathway and the Interferon signaling pathway. Within these pathways JAK1 collaborates closely with other proteins like JAK2 TYK2 and STAT proteins. It acts as a mediator of the cellular response to a variety of cytokines and growth factors playing a role in the regulation of immune responses and cell proliferation.
Dysregulation of JAK1 associates with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and certain cancers. JAK1 inhibitors have been developed as therapeutic agents for these conditions targeting its kinase activity to modulate aberrant signaling. The interaction between JAK1 and other kinases such as JAK2 and transcription factors like STATs highlights its importance in disease mechanisms providing a target for drugs to manage inflammatory and malignant disorders.
