{"product_id":"cst-85453sf","title":"CST,  85453SF, STEP (23E5) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)","description":"Monoclonal Antibody for studying STEP. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunofluorescence (Frozen). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, STEP (23E5) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #85453) is ready to ship.\n\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Usage Information\u003c\/b\u003e\nThis product is the carrier free version of product #4396. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This 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. For standard formulation of this product see product # 4396 .\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\nSTEP (23E5) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) detects endogenous levels of total STEP46 and STEP61 protein.\nSpecies Reactivity: Mouse, Rat\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nMonoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino terminus of rat STEP46 protein.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nStriatal enriched phosphatase (STEP, also known as PTPN5), is a protein tyrosine phosphatase expressed in dopaminoceptive neurons of the central nervous system (1). Alternative splicing produces the cytosolic STEP46 and the membrane-associated STEP61 isoforms of STEP. Dopamine activates D1 receptors and PKA, which in turn phosphorylate both isoforms of STEP. Phosphorylation of STEP61 occurs at Ser160 and Ser221, while STEP46 is phosphorylated at Ser49 (equivalent to Ser221 of STEP61) (2). NMDA-mediated activation of STEP is an important mechanism for regulation of Erk activity in neurons (3). Furthermore, STEP is involved in the regulation of both NMDAR and AMPAR trafficking (4,5). Due to its importance in cognitive function, STEP may play a role in Alzheimer's disease (1).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nFLJ14427; Neural-specific protein-tyrosine phosphatase; protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 5; protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 5 (striatum-enriched); protein-tyrosine phosphatase striatum-enriched; PTN5; PTPN5; PTPSTEP; STEP; STEP61; striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase; Striatum-enriched protein-tyrosine phosphatase; Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 5\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 46, 61\nSource\/Isotype: Mouse IgG1","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800137191593,"sku":"85453SF","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-85453sf","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
