Description
Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
GP130 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total GP130 protein independent of phosphorylation.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence of human GP130. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
GP130 is a signal-transducing subunit shared by the receptors for the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines (1-3). The binding of a ligand to its receptor induces GP130 dimerization, leading to Jak tyrosine kinase activation and GP130 tyrosine phosphorylation. These events lead to the activation of multiple signal-transduction pathways, such as the Stat, Ras-MAPK, and PI3 kinase pathways, whose activation is controlled by distinct regions of GP130 (4-7).
