Invitrogen™ Syk Monoclonal Antibody (4D10.1), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This 4D10.1 monoclonal antibody recognizes human Syk, a 72-kDa member of the Syk/ZAP-70 family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases. Syk is expressed most highly in B cells, with lower expression in immature thymocytes, mast cells, and platelets. Syk can also be detected in fibroblasts, epithelial cells, hepatocytes, endothelial cells, and neuronal cells. This protein is a major component of signaling cascades downstream of the B and T cell antigen receptors and plays an essential role in lymphocyte development. Upon recruitment to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) on the antigen receptors, Syk is activated by phosphorylation on multiple tyrosines. Once activated, Syk phosphorylates proteins such as phospholipase C gamma and BLNK/SLP-65. Finally, abnormal Syk expression has been linked to tumor cell migration and invasion in several cancers. Applications Reported: This 4D10.1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis and western blotting. Applications Tested: This 4D10.1 antibody has been tested by immunoblotting of reduced Ramos cell lysate. This can be used at less than or equal to 5 μg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
