Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous level of ADD1only when phosphorylated at serine 726.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removedby chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pSer726 (T-P-S (p) -F-L) derived from Human ADD1. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.
Adducins are a family of cytoskeleton proteins encoded by three genes (a, beta, gamma). Adducin is a heterodimeric protein that consists of related subunits, which are produced from distinct genes but share a similar structure. a- and beta-adducin include a protease-resistant N-terminal region and a protease-sensitive, hydrophilic C-terminal region. a- and gamma-adducins are ubiquitously expressed. In contrast, beta-adducin is expressed at high levels in brain and hematopoietic tissues. Adducin binds with high affinity to Ca(2+)/calmodulin and is a substrate for protein kinases A and C. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms, however, not all variants have been fully described.
