Mouse monoclonal clone PTR-8 anti-Phosphothreonine antibody reacts with phosphorylated threonine both as a free amino acid or when conjugated to carriers such as BSA or KLH, using ELISA and dot blot. It does not react with nonphosphorylated threonine, phosphorylated tyrosine or serine, AMP or ATP.
Synonyms: Monoclonal Anti-Phosphothreonine; Phospho Thr; Phospho Threonine; Phospho-Thr; Phospho-Threonine; p-Thr
Storage: -20C
Application: Monoclonal Anti-Phosphothreonine antibody produced in mouse has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dot blot, immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting. It has also been used in Akt kinase assay to detect phosphorylation status on serine and threonine residue in the wild type or mutant type d-catenin.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are basic mechanisms for the modification of protein function in eukaryotic cells. Phosphorylation is a rare post-translational event in normal tissue. Various activation processes are mediated through phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine or phosphothreonine (p-Tyr/p-Ser/p-Thr). Many different mitogenic systems, such as the epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin receptor systems contain Tyr/Ser/Thr kinase domains that autophosphorylate specific Tyr/Ser/Thr residues upon binding of their ligands. T cell antigen receptor complex or receptors for some hemopoietic growth factors may stimulate associated kinases, and cells transformed by viral oncogenes contain elevated levels of phosphorylated Tyr/Ser/Thr.
