PTP1B/PTPN1 Antibody (M234)

Western Blot: PTP1B/PTPN1 Antibody (M234) [NBP3-23189] - Western blot image of human Jurkat cells untreated (lanes 1 & 3) or treated (lanes 2 & 4) with calyculin A (100 nM for 30 min.). The blots were probed with mouse monoclonal anti-PTP1B/PTPN1 (lanes 1 & 2) or rabbit polyclonal anti-PTP1B/PTPN1 (Ser-50) (lanes 3 & 4).

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: PTP1B/PTPN1 Antibody (M234) [NBP3-23189] - Immunocytochemical labeling of PTP1B/PTPN1 in methanol and acetone fixed human NCI-H1915 lung carcinoma cells. The cells were labeled with mouse monclonal anti-PTP1B/PTPN1 (NBP3-23189) antibody. The antibody was detected using appropriate secondary antibody conjugated to DyLight(R) 594.

Background

The non-transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase, PTP1B, comprises 435 amino acids, of which the C-terminal 114 residues have been implicated in controlling both localization and function of this enzyme. Increased phosphorylation of PTP1B is seen to accompany the transition from G2 to M phase of the cell cycle. Immunofluorescence experiments indicate that PTP-1B is localized predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Subcellular fractionation is consistent with this localization and establishes that PTP-1B is tightly associated with microsomal membranes, with its phosphatase domain oriented towards the cytoplasm. The finding of a tyrosine phosphatase on the ER suggests new possibilities for cellular events controlled by tyrosine phosphorylation (2). It has also been shown that PTP1B is a novel substrate for Akt and that phosphorylation of PTP1B by Akt at Ser(50) may negatively modulate its phosphatase activity creating a positive feedback mechanism for insulin signaling (3).
