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 p56Dok-2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total p56Dok-2 proteins. The antibody does not cross-react with other p62Dok family members. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the residues at the carboxy-terminal sequence of human p56Dok-2. The antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Docking proteins are substrates of tyrosine kinases that function in the recruitment and assembly of specific signal transduction molecules. There are five members in the p62dok family, p62Dok (Dok-1), p56Dok-2 (Dok-2, or DoK-R), Dok-3, Dok-4 and Dok-5 (1-3), characterized by the presence of an amino-terminal PH domain, a central PTB domain and numerous potential sites of tyrosine phosphorylation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of p56Dok-2 occurs upon stimulation of cells with a variety of stimuli, or in cells transformed by oncogenic tyrosine kinases such as v-Src and Bcr-Abl (3-5). Based on the presence of several signaling domains (PH, PTB domain, tyrosine residue and proline-rich regions), it has been proposed that the p62dok family act as docking proteins that link RTKs to signal transduction pathways. p56Dok-2 has been proposed to be a negative regulator of cytokine-induced proliferation in T cells (5). Phosphorylated Tyr351 of p56Dok-2 mediates an association with the SH2 domain of Nck (4).
