Description
The serine/threonine kinase 3-Phosphoinositide-Dependent Protein Kinase-1 (PDPK1, also known as PDK1) contributes to the activation of many important kinases in the insulin and IGF-1 signaling pathways. It acts downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) to phosphorylate residues in the activation loops of many cellular kinases, including protein kinase B (PKB/Akt), PKC isoforms, p70 S6 kinase, and PDPK1 itself. The autophosphorylation of PDPK1 at serine 241 (S241) has recently been suggested to play a role in the regulation of PDPK1. It has been proposed that PDPK1 activity plays a key role in the regulation of various cellular events such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The J666-653.44.17 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated S241 in the activation loop of human PDPK1. The orthologous phosphorylation site in mouse and rat PDPK1 is S244.
This mAb was characterized by flow cytometry (Flow) and western blot analysis (WB) using these model systems: Method Species Cells Treatment Fixation Perm buffer Result Flow Human Jurkat Calyculin A + Okadaic Acid Lyse/Fix or Cytofix III Up-regulation Flow Human Jurkat Calyculin A + Okadaic Acid Lyse/Fix I or II Unsatisfactory Flow Human PBMC Calyculin A + Okadaic Acid Lyse/Fix III Up-regulation WB Human Jurkat Calyculin A + Okadaic Acid 63 kDa
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
