Anti-Sphingosine Kinase 1 (Ser-225), Phosphospecific Antibody

Our Sphingosine Kinase 1 (Ser-225) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human Sphingosine Kinase 1 (Ser-225) and is antigen affinity purified. It is great for use in ELISA, WB.

Product Specifications

Background

Sphingolipids are metabolized into bioactive products that include ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) . Sphingosine Kinase (SK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of the lipid sphingosine, creating S1P. S1P subsequently signals through cell surface G protein-coupled receptors, as well as intracellularly, to modulate cell proliferation, survival, motility and differentiation. Two isoforms of SK have been identified, SK1 and SK2. The mRNA for both of these isoforms is widely expressed with SK1 expression highest in brain, heart, kidney, thymus, spleen and lung, while SK2 is highest in kidney and liver. SKs can be activated through growth factor, G protein-coupled, and immunoglobulin receptor signalling. SK1 has been shown to mediate cell growth, prevention of apoptosis, and cellular transformation, and is upregulated in a variety of human tumors. Regulation of SK1 may occur through ERK mediated phosphorylation of Ser-225. This phosphorylation leads to increased activity and translocation to the plasma membrane.

Reactivity

Human

Immunogen

Phospho-SK1 (Ser-225) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponding to amino acids surrounding serine 225 in human SK1. This sequence has 4 amino acid differences from mouse and 5 from rat SK1, and is not homologous to sequences in SK2. The conserved site in rat and mouse SK1 is at serine 224.

Specificity

This antibody was cross-adsorbed to non-specific phosphoserine and unphosphorylated SK1 (Ser-225) peptide before affinity purification using phospho-SK1 (Ser-225) peptide. The purified antibody detects a 47 kDa* full-length recombinant human SK1 protein phosphorylated with ERK2.
