The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site. Antibody AP02388PU detects endogenous levels of Caveolin-1 only when phosphorylated at Tyrosine 14.
Purification
Immunoaffinity Chromatography.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human Caveolin-1 around the phosphorylation site of tyrosine 14 (H-L-YP-T-V).

Caveolae (also known as plasmalemmal vesicles) are 50-100 nm flask-shaped membranes that represent a subcompartment of the plasma membrane. On the basis of morphological studies, caveolae have been implicated to function in the transcytosis of various macromolecules (including LDL) across capillary endothelial cells, uptake of small molecules via potocytosis and the compartmentalization of certain signaling molecules including G protein-coupled receptors. Three proteins, caveolin-1, caveolin-2 and caveolin-3 have been identified as principle components of caveolae.Synonyms: CAV1
