Gene Name | PPP1R1B |
Other Names | Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 1B, DARPP-32, Dopamine- and cAMP-regulated neuronal phosphoprotein, Ppp1r1b |
Target/Specificity | Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser137 conjugated to KLH. |
Dilution | WB~~ 1:1000 |
Format | Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns. |
Antibody Specificity | Specific for the ~32k DARPP-32 protein phosphorylated at Ser137. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phospho-peptide used as antigen but not by the dephospho-peptide. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | Phospho-Ser137 DARPP-32 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Shipping | Blue Ice |

Background
DARPP-32 is a dopamine (DA) and cAMP-regulated ~32k phosphoprotein that is associated with dopaminoceptive neurons (Fienberg et al., 1998). The protein inhibits protein phosphatase I when it is phosphorylated on Thr34. In contrast, when DARPP-32 is phosphorylated on Thr75 the protein acts as an inhibitor of PKA (Bibb et al., 1999). Phosphorylation of DARPP-32 is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of dopaminergic neurotransmission. In addition, the activity of DARPP-32 is also thought to play important roles in the actions of alcohol, caffeine and Prozac® (Maldve et al., 2002; Lindskog et al., 2002; Svenningsson et al., 2002). Serine 137 is phosphorylated by casein kinase 1 and phosphorylation of this site is increased following acute administration of Prozac® (Svenningsson et al., 2002).
