Dynamin (Ser778) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Dynamin is a member of a group of nerve terminal proteins called dephosphins that regulate synaptic vesicle endocytosis (Cousin et al., 2001; Graham et al., 2002; Tsuboi et al., 2002) . Cyclin dependent protein kinase 5 phosphorylates dynamin at Ser-774 and Ser-778 that are the phosphorylation sites on dynamin phosphorylated in vivo (Tan et al., 2003) . Phosphorylation of these sites on dynamin is thought to play a key role in synaptic vesicle trafficking.

Source

Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser778 of rat dynamin, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) .

Applications

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot Dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000)

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Modification

Phosphorylation

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~95 kDa dynamin protein phosphorylated at Ser778. Labels the purified protein phosphorylated in vitro by cdk5 but not by PKC. Does not cross react with other purified substrates of cdk5 (e.g. amphiphysin and synapsin) . Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.
