FMRP (Ser499) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is an RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in cognitive brain function. Mutations in the FMR1 gene, which codes for FMRP, can result in fragile X syndrome, autism, as well as other cognitive deficits (Brown et al.,1998, Goodlin-Jones et al., 2004) . Phosphorylation of the highly conserved Ser-499 has been shown to trigger hierarchical phosphorylation of nearby serines and may play a role in suppressing target mRNA translation (Ceman et al., 2003, Narayanan et al. 2008) .

Applications

WB, IHC

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot Dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000), IHC ()

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 ~71 kDa FMRP protein phosphorylated at Ser499. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.
