The antibody reacts with Pdcd4 protein that is either phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated at Ser457.
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Species reactivity (expected):A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Pdcd4 from Human, Mouse, Rat and Xenopus based on 100 % homology with the immunizing sequence. Species reactivity (tested):Human, Mouse, Rat, S. aureus, Xenopus.
Purification
Affinity Chromatography.
Immunogen

Programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4) is a novel tumor supressor. Pdcd4 directly inhibits the helicase activity of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), a component of the translation initiation complex. Pdcd4 also suppresses the transactivation of activator protein-1 (AP-1)-responsive promoters by c-Jun. Pdcd4 contains two Akt phosphorylation sites, one at Ser67 and the other at Ser457. The phosphorylation of Pdcd4 by Akt causes nuclear translocation of Pdcd4 and a significant decrease in the ability of Pdcd4 to interfere with the transactivation of AP-1-responsive promoters by c-Jun.Synonyms: H731, Neoplastic transformation inhibitor protein, Nuclear antigen H731-like, Programmed cell death protein 4
