bs-70209R

DATASHEET

Host: Rabbit

Target Protein: p53 (Ser392)

Specificity: Specific for endogenous levels of the ~53 kDa p53 protein phosphorylated at Ser392 ~53 kDa p53 protein phosphorylated at Ser392. The immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.

Modification Site: Ser392

Clonality: Polyclonal

Isotype: IgG

Entrez Gene: 7157

Swiss Prot: P04637

Source: Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser392 of human p53, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).

Purification: Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Storage Buffer: 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Storage: Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Background:

p53 has a well established role in blocking the proliferative action of damaged cells and acting in essence as an anticancer agent (Sharpless and DePinho, 2002; Yin et al., 1992). It has been called the guardian of the genome (Lane, 1992). Phosphorylation of Ser-392 in p53 is associated with formation of human tumors (Saito et al., 2003; Pise-Masison et al., 1998; Kim et al., 2004). In addition, p53 has been linked to effects of aging and oxidative stress (Sharpless and DePinho, 2002). An increase in p53 has also been linked to deficits in LTP and learning and memory (Jiang et al., 1998)
