FLT3 Antibody (N-term)
Purified Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Pab)

Catalog # Source: Lot # Size:
AP7644a Rabbit SH021106D 0.1 mg
Concentration: Accession: Clone Name: Isotype:
0.25 mg/ml P36888 RB1544 Rabbit Ig
Applications: Reactivity: MW (kDa):
WB, IHC, E H 112804 Da
Target/Specificity:
This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the N-terminal region of human FLT3.
Other Names:
Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor FLT3; STK1; FL cytokine receptor; Stem cell tyrosine kinase 1; CD135 antigen
Application Data:

Western blot analysis of anti-FLT3 Pab (Cat. #AP7644a) in HL-60 cell lysate. FLT3 (arrow) was detected using purified Pab. Secondary HRP-anti-rabbit was used for signal visualization with chemiluminescence.

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.

Background:
Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from a phosphate donor, generally the g phosphate of ATP, onto an acceptor amino acid in a substrate protein. By this basic mechanism, protein kinases mediate most of the signal transduction in eukaryotic cells, regulating cellular metabolism, transcription, cell cycle progression, cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell movement, apoptosis, and differentiation. With more than 500 gene products, the protein kinase family is one of the largest families of proteins in eukaryotes. The family has been classified in 8 major groups based on sequence comparison of their tyrosine (PTK) or serine/threonine (STK) kinase catalytic domains. The tyrosine kinase (TK) group is mainly involved in the regulation of cell-cell interactions such as differentiation, adhesion, motility and death. There are currently about 90 TK genes sequenced, 58 are of receptor protein TK (e.g. EGFR, EPH, FGFR, PDGFR, TRK, and VEGFR families), and 32 of cytosolic TK (e.g. ABL, FAK, JAK, and SRC families).
