磷酸化ALK(Tyr1096)抗体仅在(Tyr1096)(对应NPM-ALK上156)被磷酸化后才能检测到ALK的存在。本抗体也能与其它过表达的磷酸化酪氨酸激酶交叉反应。Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography 多克隆抗体通过用合成磷酸化多肽免疫动物得到,该多肽是根据人的ALK蛋白Tyr1096附近的氨基酸序列合成的。抗体经过protein A和亲肽亲和层析纯化。间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)是多效生长因子(PTN)的酪氨酸激酶受体,它是大脑胚胎发育过程中的生长因子(1-3)。 在表达ALK的细胞中,PTN诱导ALK及其下游效应因子IRS-1, Shc, PLCγ, 和PI3K激酶发生磷酸化(1)。ALK最初是从易位突变产生的NPM-ALK融合蛋白而被发现的(4)。NPM-ALK融合蛋白是一个组成性活化,有原癌基因活性的间变性淋巴瘤相关酪氨酸激酶(4)。 由NPM-ALK介导的PLCγ的活化可能对有丝分裂活性起到关键作用,并且可能对间变性淋巴瘤的发病过程很重要(5)。另一个完全不同的ALK原癌融合蛋白在非小细胞肺癌细胞株中被报道,该蛋白融合了ALK与EML4,其相应融合转录产物在一些肺腺癌中也有表达。在EML4-ALK融合蛋白中,微管相关蛋白EML4的短氨基末端区域和ALK的激酶活性区域融合在一起(6,7)。ALK的Tyr1096位点磷酸化是Cell Signaling Technology (CST)公司L利用C-MS/MS平台PhosphoScan®技术在寻找磷酸化位点过程中发现的。NPM-ALK的Tyr1096位点磷酸化也被其他实验室报道在某些肿瘤及肿瘤细胞系中存在,并对NPM-ALK 的功能十分重要(8,9)。

Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-ALK (Tyr1096) Antibody detects ALK only when phosphorylated at Tyr1096, which is equivalent to Tyr156 of NPM-ALK. This antibody may also cross-react with other overexpressed tyrosine phosphorylated proteins.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr1096 of human ALK.
Background
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a tyrosine kinase receptor for pleiotrophin (PTN), a growth factor involved in embryonic brain development (1-3). In ALK-expressing cells, PTN induces phosphorylation of both ALK and the downstream effectors IRS-1, Shc, PLCγ, and PI3 kinase (1). ALK was originally discovered as an NPM (nucleophosmin)-ALK fusion protein produced by a translocation (4). The NPM-ALK fusion protein is a constitutively active, oncogenic tyrosine kinase associated with anaplastic lymphoma (4). Activation of PLCγ by NPM-ALK has been suggested to be a crucial step for its mitogenic activity and may be important in the pathogenesis of anaplastic lymphomas (5). A distinct ALK oncogenic fusion protein involving ALK and EML4 has been described from a non-small cell lung cancer cell line, with corresponding fusion transcripts present in some cases of lung adenocarcinoma. The short, amino-terminal region of the microtubule-associated protein EML4 is fused to the kinase domain of ALK (6,7).Phosphorylation of ALK on Tyr1096 was identified at Cell Signaling Technology (CST) using PhosphoScan®, CST's LC-MS/MS platform for phosphorylation site discovery. Phosphorylation of fusion protein NPM-ALK at the Tyr1096 site was also reported by several other labs in select carcinoma cell lines and in tumors and shown to be important for NPM-ALK function (8,9).
