Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Mouse
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-PEA-15 (Ser104) Antibody detects endogenous levels of PEA-15 only when phosphorylated at serine 104.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser104 of human PEA-15. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
PEA-15 is a 15 kDa phosphoprotein expressed abundantly in astrocytes and fibroblasts as well as in tissues, including the lung and eye (1). The protein has been shown to coordinate cell growth, death, and glucose ultilization (2-4). The amino-terminal DED domain of PEA-15 mediates its binding to FADD or Erk and futher regulates the Erk and apoptosis signaling pathways. PEA-15 can be phosphorylated at two serine residues, Ser104 and Ser116, located within the carboxy terminus. Phosphorylation at these sites regulates binding to Erk and FADD (2,3).
