Cofilin antibody (pTyr140)

Catalog No. ABIN401587

Product Details anti-Cofilin Antibody

Target: Cofilin (CFL1) (Cofilin 1 (CFL1))

Binding Specificity: pTyr140

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This Cofilin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Specificity: Antibody AP09483PU detects endogenous levels of Cofilin-1 only when phosphorylated at Tyrosine 139.

Purification: Immunoaffinity Chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human cofilin1 around the phosphorylation site of Tyrosine 139 (N-C-Yp-E-E).

Background: Cofilin is a small phosphoinositide sensitive, actin binding protein capable of depolymerizing actin filaments in vitro. Under certain conditions, it fragments the filaments and accelerates actin subunit dissociation from their 'pointed' (minus) ends. Cofilin binds stoichiometrically to monomeric G-actin and to actin protomers in filaments in an apparent pH -dependent, Ca2+- independent manner. Cofilin intercalates between longitudinally associated actin monomers within the filament and distorts its helical twist. Cofilin is ubiquitous in tissues of eukaryotes and is especially abundant in neuronal tissues. It is essential for viability and is important for many cellular processes involving actin remodeling such as motility at the leading edge of cells, polarized cell growth, endocytosis, phagocytosis, cellular activation, cytokinesis, and pathogen intracellular motility.Synonyms: 18 kDa phosphoprotein, CFL, CFL1, Cofilin non-muscle isoform, p18
