Phospho-PSD93 (Tyr340) Antibody detects endogenous levels of PSD93 only when phosphorylated at Tyr340.
Source / Purification
Antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr340 of human PSD93.
Background
Postsynaptic Density Protein 93 (PSD93) is a member of the PSD subfamily of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (PSD-MAGUK) proteins. Structurally, it most closely resembles PSD95, consisting of an N-terminal variable segment followed by three PDZ domains, an SH3 domain and an inactive guanylate kinase (GK) domain (1,2) . PSD93 is expressed in neuronal cells and located at the synapse where it interacts with neuronal receptors and proteins including the NMDA receptor (2-4), K+ channels (5-6), and the AMPA receptor (7) to regulate their membrane localization and neuronal signaling. PSD93 is implicated in postsynaptic related persistent pain induction and is a potential target for treatment of this syndrome (3).The phosphorylation site at Tyr340 of PSD93 was identified at Cell Signaling Technology (CST) using PhosphoScan®, CST's MS/MS platform for phosphorylation site discovery. Phosphorylation of PSD93 at Tyr340 was observed in extracts isolated from reperfusion of ischemic rat brain.
