Raf-1 associates with members of the 14–3–3 family of proteins, which appear to protect active Raf-1 from phosphatase action.
Important regulatory phosphorylation events occur on tyrosines 340 and 341 and serines 259, 499 (activating), serine 43 (prevents Ras:GTP binding), and serine 621 (constitutive, required for activity).
Once active, Raf-1 associates with plasma membranes independent of Ras and phosphorylates and activates MEK, initiating the MAP kinase signaling pathway.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Western Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml detects Raf-1 in RIPA lysates from 3T3/A31 cell lysates.
3T3/A31 cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with R0495-06 (2ug/ml).
Proteins were visualized using an IgG (HRP) goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody and a chemiluminescence detection system
The immunocomplex was then used in a coupled phosphorylation assay to activate MEK1, which in turn activates MAP Kinase 2 that phosphorylates myelin basic protein in vitro
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Included Positive Antigen Control:F4209: Fibroblast Cell, 3T3/A31.
