CST, 97258V1, FastScan™ Phospho-Rb (Ser780) ELISA Kit

Protocol
Available protocols: ELISA+
Specificity / Sensitivity
The FastScan™ Phospho-Rb (Ser780) ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of Rb when phosphorylated at Ser780, as shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
Species Reactivity: Human
Background
The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein Rb regulates cell proliferation by controlling progression through the restriction point within the G1-phase of the cell cycle (1). Rb has three functionally distinct binding domains and interacts with critical regulatory proteins including the E2F family of transcription factors, c-Abl tyrosine kinase, and proteins with a conserved LXCXE motif (2-4). Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation by a CDK inhibits Rb target binding and allows cell cycle progression (5). Rb inactivation and subsequent cell cycle progression likely requires an initial phosphorylation by cyclin D-CDK4/6 followed by cyclin E-CDK2 phosphorylation (6). Specificity of different CDK/cyclin complexes has been observed (6-8) and cyclin D1 is required for Ser780 phosphorylation (9).
