The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-MARCKS antibody has been validated for WB. It is suitable to detect MARCKS in samples from Human, Mouse, Rat and Xenopus laevis.
Catalog No. ABIN5688889
Quick Overview for MARCKS antibody (pSer152, pSer156) (ABIN5688889)
MARCKS antibody is specific for MARCKS phosphorylated at Ser152 and Ser156.
Purification
Affinity Purified
Immunogen
MARCKS (Ser152/156) polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding the phospho-Ser152 and phospho-Ser156 of rat MARCKS.
Immunolabeling of the 87 kDa band in rat brain homogenate is blocked by the Ser152/156 phosphopeptide but not by the non-phosphopeptide. The antibody is purified by sequential chromatography on phospho- and non-phosphopeptide affinity columns. Antibody dilutions and tissue load should be based on tissue type and expected phosphorylation state. Initial recommended range of dilutions: 1:500 to 1:2000. Applications include Dot Blots (DB) and Western Blot (WB). Suitability for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) not yet determined. Human, mouse, rat, and Xenopus have 100 % amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for DB and WB.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Liquid
Buffer
100 μLin 10 mM HEPES ( pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 μg per mL BSA and 50 % glycerol.
Storage
-20 °C
Storage Comment
For long term storage -80°C is recommended, but shorter term storage at -20°C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for one year.
Target

(Myristoylated Alanine-Rich Protein Kinase C Substrate (MARCKS))
Alternative Name
MARCKS
Background
Myristoylated Alanine-Rich C Kinase Substrate (MARCKS) 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. Moreover, MARCKS is a member of a family of calmodulin binding proteins. Phosphorylation of Ser152/156 modulates the binding of MARCKS to calmodulin.
