anti-Raf1 Antibody

Raf1

RAF1, cRaf, c-Raf, RAF , CRAF , C-RAF

Human Raf1 is a proto-oncogene-encoded 74 kDa kinase that serves as an upstream activator of Mek1 by phosphorylating Ser-218 and Ser-222 in the MAP kinase kinase (Mek1). It has also been implicated in the phosphorylation and activation of the cdc2 tyrosine phosphatase cdc25. Raf1 binds to the GTP-bound form of the Ras G-protein via an N-terminal domain in Raf-1. Raf-1 is activated upon phosphorylation by protein kinase C, Src and ceramide-activated protein kinase. Raf-1 is highly related to the A-Raf and B-Raf isoforms within the N-terminal G-protein binding domain (CR1), phosphorylation site domain (CR2) and the catalytic domain (CR3). Raf-1 physically interacts with Ras, RapIB, MEK1, the 14-3-3 family of proteins and the molecular chaperones hsp90 and p50.

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.2 mg/ml) immunoaffinity purified rabbit anti-Raf-1 polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, 0.02% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry

Western blot analysis (1-4 µg/ml), immunoprecipitation (15-25 µg/ml) and Immunohistochemistry (10-20 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects a 74 kDa Raf-1 protein on SDS-PAGE immunoblots. It is non cross-reactive with Raf-A and Raf-B.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
