Glycogen Synthase [p Ser641] Antibody Summary

• Immunogen: Human Muscle Glycogen Synthase phospho peptide corresponding to a S641 region of the human protein conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH). (Uniprot: P13807)
• Modification: p Ser641
• Specificity: Phospho Glycogen Synthase pS641 antibody is directed against human muscle glycogen synthase. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. This phospho specific polyclonal antibody is specific for phosphorylated pS641 of human muscle glycogen synthase. Reactivity with non-phosphorylated human muscle glycogen synthase is less than 1% by ELISA. Cross reactivity with muscle glycogen synthase occurs in mouse tissue. Reactivity with muscle glycogen synthase from other sources has not been determined.
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Gene: GYS1
• Purity: Immunogen affinity purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • ELISA 1:20000-1:60000
  • Immunohistochemistry 1:1000-1:5000
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 1:1000 - 1:5000
  • N/A
  • Signal Stimulation
  • Western Blot 1:1000-1:10000
• Application Notes: This This product was tested by immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. By ELISA the antibody was found to be reactive with the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide and minimally reactive with the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. Immunoblotting will detect human and mouse muscle glycogen synthase. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in immunoprecipitation.

Reactivity Notes

Reactivity with non-phosphorylated human muscle glycogen synthase is less than 1% by ELISA. Cross reactivity with muscle glycogen synthase occurs in mouse tissue. Reactivity with muscle glycogen synthase from other sources has not been determined

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Buffer: 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
• Preservative: 0.01% Sodium Azide
• Purity: Immunogen affinity purified

Notes

The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Antiserum was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide

Store this antibody at -20C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Background

Human muscle glycogen synthase (GS) is responsible for the biosynthesis of glycogen from phosphorylated glucose units. Mammalian liver and muscle contain GS consisting of four subunits with a total molecular weight of 360,000. GS is subject to regulation through both allosteric and covalent modification and occurs in two forms: the phosphorylated inactive form, and the dephosphorylated active form. GS is inactivated by the serine/threonine kinase called glycogen synthase kinase-3b that mainly functions to phosphorylate muscle glycogen synthase. This antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of GS at Ser 640. Phosphorylation of GS at S640 has been associated with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.
