B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase (BRAF) is involved in the regulation of MAP kinase/ERKs signaling pathway, which affects cell division, differentiation, and secretion. Defective BRAF is associated with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, a disease characterized by heart defects, mental retardation and a distinctive facial appearance, and various cancers such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, thyroid carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma of lung.
Synonyms: Anti-B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-p94 antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 antibody produced in rabbit
MDL Number: MFCD01633039
Storage: -20C
Application: Rabbit polyclonal anti-BRAF antibody is used to tag B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques such as ELISA, immunoblotting, and immunoprecipitation. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase in MAP kinase/ERK signaling and the development and progression of several types of cancer.
