Western Blotting/Peptide Inhibition Analysis: 2 µg/mL from a representative lot detected phospho AMBRA1 (Ser52) in WB/PIA.

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory detected phospho AMBRA1 (Ser52) in HEK293 cell lysates trated without Torin1 or EBS and demonstrated a loss of signal in HEK293 cell lysates treated with Torin1 or EBS (Nazio, F., et al. (2013). Nat Cell Biol.15(4):406-416.).

General description

Activating molecule in BECN1-regulated autophagy protein 1 (AMBRA1) interacts with BECN1, likely forming a complex with BECN1 and PIK3C3. AMBRA1 is involved in autophagy by controlling protein turnover during neuronal development, and in regulating differentiation, survival and proliferation of normal cells.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human AMBRA1 phosphorylated at Ser52.

Epitope: Phosphorylated Ser52

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Affinity purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in HEK293 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 2 µg/mL of this antibody detected phospho AMBRA1 (Ser52) in 10 µg of HEK293 cell lysate.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes AMBRA1 phosphorylated at Ser52.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Target description

~150 kDa observed. Uniprot describes 6 isoforms from 83 kDa to 143 kDa This protein may be observed at higher molecular weights possibly due to hyperphosphorylation (Nazio, F., et al. (2013). Nat Cell Biol. [Epub ahead of print].).
