CST, 9131L, Phospho-Stat3 (Tyr705) Antibody

Polyclonal Antibody for studying STAT3 (Tyr705) phosphate. Validated for WB,WB,IP,ChIP. Available in 2 sizes. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Phospho-Stat3 (Tyr705) Antibody (CST #9131) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information For optimal ChIP results, use 10 μl of antibody and 10 μg of chromatin (approximately 4 x 10 6 cells) per IP. This antibody has been validated using SimpleChIP ® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kits. Western Blotting: 1:1000 Simple Western™: 1:10 - 1:50 Immunoprecipitation: 1:50 Chromatin IP: 1:25 - 1:100 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, Immunoprecipitation, Chromatin IP Specificity / Sensitivity Phospho-Stat3 (Tyr705) Antibody detects endogenous levels of Stat3 only when phosphorylated at Tyr705. This antibody does not cross-react with other Stat proteins when phosphorylated on the corresponding tyrosine residue, but has been shown to cross-react with Phospho-EGFR. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr705 of mouse Stat3. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background The Stat3 transcription factor is an important signaling molecule for many cytokines and growth factor receptors (1) and is required for murine fetal development (2). Research studies have shown that Stat3 is constitutively activated in a number of human tumors (3,4) and possesses oncogenic potential (5) and anti-apoptotic activities (3). Stat3 is activated by phosphorylation at Tyr705, which induces dimerization, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding (6,7). Transcriptional activation seems to be regulated by phosphorylation at Ser727 through the MAPK or mTOR pathways (8,9). Stat3 isoform expression appears to reflect biological function as the relative expression levels of Stat3α (86 kDa) and Stat3β (79 kDa) depend on cell type, ligand exposure, or cell maturation stage (10). It is notable that Stat3β lacks the serine phosphorylation site within the carboxy-terminal transcriptional activation domain (8).
