Anti-ACTIVE® p38 pAb

Anti-ACTIVE® p38 pAb, Rabbit (Cat.# V1211), is an affinity-purified polyclonal antibody that recognizes the active form of p38 enzyme. The Anti-ACTIVE® p38 pAb is raised against the dually phosphorylated peptide sequence representing the catalytic core of the active p38 enzyme. The phosphorylated amino acid residues correspond to Thr 180 and Tyr 182 of the p38 enzyme.

  • Specificity: Preferentially detects the dually-phosphorylated, active form of the p38 kinase.
  • Immunogen: Dually phosphorylated Thr/Gly/Tyr region (pTGpY) derived from the catalytic core of the active form of p38 kinase, corresponding to Thr182 and Tyr184 of the mammalian p38 enzyme.
  • Antibody Form: Affinity-purified Rabbit IgG; supplied in PBS (pH 7.4).
  • Value: When used at the recommended 1:2,000 dilution, this product will generate up to 200ml of blotting solution, sufficient for 20 Western blots of 10ml each.
