Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Phospho-GRB2 (Tyr160) (F3B5U) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (CST #70904) 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, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity Phospho-GRB2 (Tyr160) (F3B5U) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of GRB2 protein only when phosphorylated at Tyr160. This antibody may cross-reacts with other highly tyrosine phosphorylated proteins, including the HER family proteins. This antibody detects 70 kDa and 90 kDa proteins of unknown identity in some cell lines. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr160 of human GRB2 protein. Background Growth factor receptor-binding protein 2 (GRB2) is an adaptor protein that is involved in RTK signal transduction. The SH2 domain of GRB2 binds to tyrosine phosphorylated proteins, such as EGFR, IRS-1, Shc, and Gab1 (1). The SH3 domain of GRB2 associates with SOS, which stimulates the Ras GTP-binding activity, leading to the activation of the MAP kinase and other signaling pathways. Phosphorylation of GRB2 at Tyr209 by Bcr-Abl and EGFR abolishes its association with SOS and negatively regulates downstream signaling (2). GRB2 is phosphorylated at Tyr160 by NPM-ALK kinase and Src kinase (3,4). The phosphorylation promotes its disassociation from dimer to monomer, stabilizes its association with SOS, and activates the downstream MAP kinase signaling (5).
