AM00156PU-N recognizes VASP only, when Ser 239 is phosphorylated, a site preferred by cAMP-depedent protein kinase (PKA). The antibody does not crossreact with the non-phosphorylated form of VASP nor with unrelated serine-phosphorylated proteins. Therefore, mab AM00156PU-N (clone 16C2) is able to monitor the phosphorylation state of VASP serine 239 as well as PKA activity.

VASP (vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein) plays an important role in ANF / NO / cGMP Protein kinase and cAMP / cAMP Protein kinase signalling. VASP is expressed in almost all human and animal cell lines, paricularly high concentrations are found in thrombocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. In cultured cells VASP is associated with focal contacts, cell-cell-contacts, microfilaments and dynamic membrane regions such as the leading edge. In vitro binding data show that VASP binds to profilin, zyxin, vinculin, and the Listeria spp. surface protein ActA. Functional evidence indicates that VASP is a crucial factor involved in the enhancement of actin filament formation.Synonyms: Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein
