Application

Immunoprecipitation: 4 µg of a previous lot of this antibody was used per 1500 µg of crude protein sample in Immunoprecipitation.

ELISA: Recommended.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Western Blot: A previous lot of this antibody was tested on multiple lysates. See datasheet.

Anti-Rsk1 Antibody is an antibody against Rsk1 for use in WB, IP, ELISA.

General description

Rsk1, Rsk2, and Rsk3 (ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90kDa, polypeptide 1,2,3; S6K-alpha 1,2,3) are Ser/Thr kinases which are activated by MAP Kinases, and are alternatively referred to as MAPKAP kinases 1a, 1b, and 1c. Following activation, Rsk isoforms translocate to the nucleus, where Rsk2 phosphorylates Ser10 of Histone H3, a critical step in the stimulation of immediate-early gene expression. Rsk1 is able to phosphorylate Ser133 of CREB, activating it as a transcription factor. Rsk1 activation can be monitored by phosphorylation state specific antibodies directed against sites involved in its activation.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C in undiluted aliquots from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerolcontaining solutions to become frozen during storage.
