Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-Src (Tyr527) Antibody detects endogenous levels of Src only when phosphorylated at Tyr527. The antibody may cross-react with other Src family members such as Yes, Fyn, Fgr and Yrk when phosphorylated at the equivalent sites.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr527 of human Src. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
The Src family of protein tyrosine kinases, which includes Src, Lyn, Fyn, Yes, Lck, Blk, and Hck, are important in the regulation of growth and differentiation of eukaryotic cells (1). Src activity is regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation at two sites, but with opposing effects. While phosphorylation at Tyr416 in the activation loop of the kinase domain upregulates enzyme activity, phosphorylation at Tyr527 in the carboxy-terminal tail by Csk renders the enzyme less active (2).
