CST, 2582S, PP1 alpha Antibody

Polyclonal Antibody for studying PP1a. Validated for Western Blotting. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, PP1 alpha Antibody (CST #2582) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 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. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity PP1 alpha Antibody detects endogenous levels of total PP1α protein. This antibody detects recombinant levels of PP1γ and does not cross-react with PP1δ. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, D. melanogaster Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino-terminal sequence of human PP1alpha. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1), a serine/threonine phosphatase, is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. Four isoforms of PP1 have been characterized: PP1α, PP1δ, PP1γ1 and PP1γ2 (1). Involvement in cell cycle regulation is one of the biological functions of PP1 (1). It has been illustrated that PP1 dephosphorylates Rb and cdc25 during mitosis (2,3). A cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation at Thr320 of PP1α by cdc2 kinase inhibits PP1α activity (4).
