PCPTP1 Antibody

PCPTP1 is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and a single intracellular catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The similar gene for this protein predominately expressed in mouse brain was found to associate with, and thus regulate the activity and cellular localization of MAP kinases. The rat counterpart of the gene for this protein was reported to be regulated by the nerve growth factor, which suggested a function in neuronal growth and differentiation.

This PCPTP1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 234-265 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human PCPTP1.

Store at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
