The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-MARCKS antibody (ABIN197064) specifically detects MARCKS in WB and IF.
The antibody is reactive with Human, Mouse and Rat samples.
This antibody detects endogenous levels of MARCKS only when phosphorylated at Serine 158.
Purification
Affinity Chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human MARCKS around the phosphorylation site of serine 158 (R-F-SP-F-K).

Background
MARCKS, (Myristoylated Alanine-Rich C Kinase Substrate), is a member of a family of calmodulin binding proteins and is a major substrate for phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC). The phosphorylation of Ser152/156 can be used as a measure of PKC activation. Phosphorylation of Ser152/156 modulates the binding of MARCKS to calmodulin.Synonyms: MACS, Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate, PRKCSL
