PurificationAntibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide.
ApplicationsWB
Species ReactivityHu
SpecificityThe antibody detects endogenous level of c-Kit only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 721.
Immunogen TypePeptide-KLH
Immunogen DescriptionPeptide sequence around phosphorylation site of tyrosine 721 (N-E-Y(p)-M-D) derived from Human c-Kit.
FormulationSupplied at 1.0mg/mL in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Western blot analysis of extracts from Hela cells untreated or treated with IFN-a using c-Kit(Phospho-Tyr721) Antibody #AB11240.
Background
This is the receptor for stem cell factor (mast cell growth factor). It has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. Binding of the ligands leads to the autophosphorylation of KIT and its association with substrates such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Pi3K)
