Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Mouse, Rat
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-BCL9L (Ser915) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of BCL9L protein only when phosphorylated at Ser915.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser915 of human BCL9L protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
B-cell CLL/lymphoma 9-like protein (BCL9L, BL2, Bcl9-2, DLNB11) is a transcriptional activator that was originally identifiedin silicobased on homology to BCL9 (1). BCL9L was subsequently found to play an important role in Wnt/β-catenin signaling by interacting with β-catenin and enhancing the transactivation potential of the β-catenin/TCF complex (2). Research studies show that BCL9L can increase the tumorigenic effect of aberrant Wnt signaling in some cases of colorectal cancer (2). Expression of BCL9L is correlated with tumor progression in colorectal (3) and breast cancer (4). Targeted deletion of BCL9 and BCL9L in the intestinal epithelium resulted in abrogation of Wnt target genes, including those controlling epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stem-cell like properties (5).Phospho-BCL9L (Ser915) Antibody is directed at a site that was identified at Cell Signaling Technology (CST) using PhosphoScan®, CST's LC-MS/MS platform for modification site discovery. Phosphorylation at Ser915 was discovered using an AMPK substrate antibody. Please visit PhosphoSitePlus®, CST's modification site knowledgebase, at www.phosphosite.org for more information.
