Description
Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation: 1:100
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, Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-eNOS (Thr495) Antibody detects endogenous levels of eNOS only when phosphorylated at threonine 495.
Species Reactivity: Human, Bovine, Pig
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr495 of human eNOS. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) is an important enzyme in the cardiovascular system. It catalyzes the production of nitric oxide (NO), a key regulator of blood pressure, vascular remodeling, and angiogenesis (1,2). The activity of eNOS is regulated by phosphorylation at multiple sites. The two most thoroughly studied sites are the activation site Ser1177 and the inhibitory site Thr495 (3). Several protein kinases including Akt/PKB, PKA, and AMPK activate eNOS by phosphorylating Ser1177 in response to various stimuli (4,5). In contrast, bradykinin and H O activate eNOS activity by promoting both Ser1177 phosphorylation and Thr495 dephosphorylation (6,7).
