Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, B-Raf (E2T8S) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #48748) is ready to ship.\n\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Usage Information\u003c\/b\u003e\nThis formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT\u0026amp;RUN or CUT\u0026amp;Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions\/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.\n\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e\nSupplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nStore at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze\/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.\n\u003cb\u003eSpecificity \/ Sensitivity\u003c\/b\u003e\nB-Raf (E2T8S) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total B-Raf protein.\nSpecies Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nMonoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a fragment of human B-Raf protein.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nA-Raf, B-Raf, and c-Raf (Raf-1) are the main effectors recruited by GTP-bound Ras to activate the MEK-MAP kinase pathway (1). Activation of c-Raf is the best understood and involves phosphorylation at multiple activating sites, including Ser338, Tyr341, Thr491, Ser494, Ser497, and Ser499 (2). p21-activated kinase (PAK) has been shown to phosphorylate c-Raf at Ser338, and the Src family phosphorylates Tyr341 to induce c-Raf activity (3,4). Ser338 of c-Raf corresponds to similar sites in A-Raf (Ser299) and B-Raf (Ser446), although this site is constitutively phosphorylated in B-Raf (5). Inhibitory 14-3-3 binding sites on c-Raf (Ser259 and Ser621) can be phosphorylated by Akt and AMPK, respectively (6,7). While A-Raf, B-Raf, and c-Raf are similar in sequence and function, differential regulation has been observed (8). Of particular interest, B-Raf contains three consensus Akt phosphorylation sites (Ser365, Ser429, and Thr440) and lacks a site equivalent to Tyr341 of c-Raf (8,9). Research studies have shown that the B-Raf mutation V600E results in elevated kinase activity and is commonly found in malignant melanoma (10). Six residues of c-Raf (Ser29, Ser43, Ser289, Ser296, Ser301, and Ser642) become hyperphosphorylated in a manner consistent with c-Raf inactivation. The hyperphosphorylation of these six sites is dependent on downstream MEK signaling and renders c-Raf unresponsive to subsequent activation events (11).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\n94 kDa B-raf protein; B-raf; B-Raf proto-oncogene serine\/threonine-protein kinase (p94); B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine\/threonine kinase; B-Raf serine\/threonine-protein; B-RAF1; BRAF; BRAF1; FLJ95109; MGC126806; MGC138284; murine sarcoma viral (v-raf) oncogene homolog B1; NS7; p94; Proto-oncogene B-Raf; RAFB1; Serine\/threonine-protein kinase B-raf; v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B; v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nSource\/Isotype: Mouse IgG2b kappa","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800314073257,"sku":"48748SF","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-48748sf","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
