This Rabbit Polyclonal antibody specifically detects RAF1 in WB. It exhibits reactivity toward Human, Mouse, Rat, Cow, Chicken, Dog and Xenopus laevis.
RAF1
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA, IHC, IF, IP
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with bovine, canine, chicken, human, mouse, non-human primate and Xenopus based on the fact that these species have 100 % homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.

The Ras pathway is a critical signal transduction cascade involved in regulating cellular proliferation, differentiation, survival, and oncogenic transformation. Members of the Raf serine/threonine kinase family are key intermediates in this cascade, functioning to relay signals from activated Ras to the downstream protein kinases MEK and ERK (Marshall, 1996). Previous studies have shown that phosphorylation is required for Raf-1 activation (Dhillon and Kolch, 2002, Chong et al., 2003). Recent work has demonstrated that phosphorylation also regulates the downregulation of Raf (Dougherty et al., 2005) with two sites participating: Ser301 and Ser642.
