Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Mouse, Rat
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-Zap-70 (Tyr493) Antibody detects endogenous levels of Zap-70 only when phosphorylated at Tyr493.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr493 of human Zap-70. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
The Syk family protein tyrosine kinase Zap-70 is expressed in T and NK cells and plays a critical role in mediating T cell activation in response to T cell receptor (TCR) engagement (1). Following TCR engagement, Zap-70 is rapidly phosphorylated on several tyrosine residues through autophosphorylation and transphosphorylation by the Src family tyrosine kinase Lck (2-6). Tyrosine phosphorylation correlates with increased Zap-70 kinase activity and downstream signaling events. Expression of Zap-70 is correlated with disease progression and survival in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (7,8).
