Specificity: This antibody was cross-adsorbed to a phospho-tyrosine peptide then Affinity purification with phospho-PTP1B (Tyr-152) peptide. The purified antibody detects a 50 kDa* band corresponding to PTP1B in western blots of pervanadate treated human A431 and Jurkat, as well as mouse SYF cells.

Modification Site: Tyr-152

Clonality: Polyclonal

Isotype: IgG

Swiss Prot: P18031

Source: PTP1B (Tyr-152) synthetic peptide corresponds to amino acids surrounding Tyr-152 in human PTP1B.

Purification: Antigen Affinity purification

Storage Buffer: PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 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:

PTP1B is a nonreceptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase that has essential roles in insulin and leptin signaling, as well as important functions in growth factor and integrin signaling. The structure of PTP1B includes a conserved phosphatase domain, C-terminal hydrophobic residues for targeting to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum, and proline-rich regions characteristic of SH3 domain binding motifs. PTP1B can interact with N-Cadherin and dephosphorylate β-catenin associated with cadherin complexes. PTP1B also interacts with Insulin and EGF receptors, and undergoes phosphorylation after receptor stimulation. Tyrosine phosphorylation at Tyr-66, Tyr-152, and Tyr-153 occurs after insulin receptor activation, and tyrosine phosphorylation of Tyr-152 may be required for interactions with N-Cadherin. In addition, Akt can phosphorylate Ser-50 and this phosphorylation can reduce PTP1B activity.
