CST, 99428W2, Phospho-RelB (Ser552) (D41B9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex™ Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying RelB (Ser573) phosphate. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Phospho-RelB (Ser552) (D41B9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex^™ Alexa Fluor^® 647 Conjugate) (CST #99428) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology ® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate. Storage Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Specificity / Sensitivity Phospho-RelB (Ser552) (D41B9) XP Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser552 of mouse RelB protein. Background Transcription factors of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/Rel family play a pivotal role in inflammatory and immune responses (1,2). There are five family members in mammals: RelA, c-Rel, RelB, NF-κB1 (p105/p50), and NF-κB2 (p100/p52). Both p105 and p100 are proteolytically processed by the proteasome to produce p50 and p52, respectively. Rel proteins bind p50 and p52 to form dimeric complexes that bind DNA and regulate transcription. In unstimulated cells, NF-κB is sequestered in the cytoplasm by IκB inhibitory proteins (3-5). NF-κB-activating agents can induce the phosphorylation of IκB proteins, targeting them for rapid degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and releasing NF-κB to enter the nucleus where it regulates gene expression (6-8). NIK and IKKα (IKK1) regulate the phosphorylation and processing of NF-κB2 (p100) to produce p52, which translocates to the nucleus (9-11). RelB, which is generally activated by non-canonical signaling, forms heterodimers with either p50 or p52 NF-κB subunits to regulate transcription (12,13). RelB null mice are significantly impaired in inflammatory responses and hematopoietic differentiation (14,15). Phosphorlyation at Thr84 and Ser552 results in proteosomal degradation (16).
