Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Mouse, Rat
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-DDR1 (Tyr792) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of DDR1 protein only when phosphorylated at Tyr792. This antibody may cross-reacts with other tyrosine-phosphorylated RTKs.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr792 of human DDR1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
The discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) are receptor tyrosine kinases with a discoidin homology repeat in their extracellular domains, activated by binding to extracellular matrix collagens. So far, two mammalian DDRs have been identified: DDR1 and DDR2 (1). They are widely expressed in human tissues and may have roles in smooth muscle cell-mediated collagen remodeling (2). Research studies have implicated aberrant expression and signaling of DDRs in human diseases related to increased matrix degradation and remodeling, such as cardiovascular disease, liver fibrosis, and tumor invasion (1).Phosphorylation of DDR1 at Tyr792 was identified at Cell Signaling Technology using PTMScan®, our LC-MS/MS platform for phosphorylation site discovery (3). Tyr792 is located in the activation loop of the DDR1 kinase domain.
