Gene Name | ELK1 |
Other Names | ETS domain-containing protein Elk-1, ELK1 |
Target/Specificity | Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser383 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 ~46k Elk-1 phosphorylated at Ser383. Immunolabeling is blocked by the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide. |
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-Ser383 Elk-1 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Shipping | Blue Ice |

Background
Elk-1 is a transcription factor involved in mediating gene transcription in response to growth factors (Hill and Treisman, 1995). Elk-1 is thought to be phosphorylated by MAP kinase at Ser383 and phosphorylation at this site is essential for the transcriptional activity of Elk-1 (Li et al., 2003). Phosphorylation of Elk-1 has also been implicated in synaptic plasticity in the adult hippocampus (Thiels et al., 2002).
