Anti-PTEN (Phospho-Ser380)

This gene was identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in a large number of cancers at high frequency. The protein encoded this gene is a phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase. It contains a tensin like domain as well as a catalytic domain similar to that of the dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases. Unlike most of the protein tyrosine phosphatases, this protein preferentially dephosphorylates phosphoinositide substrates. It negatively regulates intracellular levels of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate in cells and functions as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating AKT/PKB signaling pathway.

Product Specifications

CAS Number

9007-83-4

Reactivity

Human,Mouse,Rat

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human PTEN around the phosphorylation site of serine 380 (R-Y-SP-D-T).

Clonality

Polyclonal

Type

Antibodies-Polyclonal

Applications

IHC

Concentration

1ug/ul

Purity

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Buffer

phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Shipping Conditions
