Phospho-STAT5 (Tyr694) Monoclonal Antibody (SRBCZX), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

• Description: This SRBCZX monoclonal antibody recognizes signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) when phosphorylated on tyrosine 694
• STAT proteins are activated by ligand binding to receptors, such as cytokine receptors, that associate with Janus kinase (JAK) family members
• Following their phosphorylation by JAKs, STAT proteins translocate to the nucleus where they bind to DNA and regulate transcription of specific genes in a cell type- and cytokine-specific manner
• In response to cytokines that signal through the common gamma chain such as IL-2, IL-7, and IL-15, STAT5 is phosphorylated on tyrosine 694 by JAK1 and JAK3
• Cytokines such as IL-3, IL-5, and GM-CSF that signal via the common beta chain induce STAT5 phosphorylation on tyrosine 694 by JAK 2
• Phosphorylation of STAT5 on tyrosine 694 is essential for STAT5 dimer formation, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding activity
• Specificity of this SRBCZX clone was determined by ELISA and flow cytometry
• Applications Reported: This SRBCZX antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis
• Applications Tested: This SRBCZX antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells
• This can be used at 5 μL (0.06 μg) per test
• STAT5 alpha is a member of the STAT family of transcription factors
• In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators
• STAT5 alpha is activated by, and mediates the responses of many cell ligands, such as IL2, IL3, IL7 GM-CSF, erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, and different growth hormones
• Activation of STAT5 alpha in myeloma and lymphoma associated with a TEL/JAK2 gene fusion is independent of cell stimulus and has been shown to be essential for the tumorigenesis
• The mouse counterpart of STAT5 alpha is found to induce the expression of BCL2L1/BCL-X(L), which suggests the antiapoptotic function of this protein in cells
• STAT5 alpha, along with STAT5 beta, were identified in mouse
• The amino acid sequences of STAT5 alpha and STAT5 beta show 96% sequence similarity, and both proteins are co expressed in most tissues in virgin and lactating mice
• However, differential accumulation of STAT5 alpha and STAT5 beta mRNA has been reported for both muscle and mammary tissue
• STAT5 alpha is critically involved in a variety of physiological functions, including reproduction, lactation, immune function and somatic growth.
