Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Hamster, Monkey, Chicken, Xenopus, Bovine, Dog, Pig, Horse
Specificity / Sensitivity
Jak2 (D2E12) XP® Rabbit mAb (Biotinylated) detects endogenous levels of total Jak2 protein. No cross-reactivity was observed with other family members.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro841 of Jak2 protein.
Background
Members of the Janus family of tyrosine kinases (Jak1, Jak2, Jak3 and Tyk2) are activated by ligands binding to a number of associated cytokine receptors (1). Upon cytokine receptor activation, Jak proteins become autophosphorylated and phosphorylate their associated receptors to provide multiple binding sites for signaling proteins. These associated signaling proteins, such as Stats (2), Shc (3), insulin receptor substrates (4) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (5), typically contain SH2 or other phospho-tyrosine-binding domains.
