Dynamin Antibody (Phospho-Ser778)

Polyclonal Antibody

Wet Ice

The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with bovine, canine, chicken, human and mouse based on the fact that these species have 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.
Western blot of rat hippocampal lysate stimulated with forskolin showing specific immunolabeling of the ~95k dynamin phosphorylated at Ser778 (Control). The phosphospecificity of this labeling is shown in the second lane (lambda-phosphatase: lambda -Ptase). The blot is identical to the control except that it was incubated in lambda -Ptase (1200 units for 30 min) before being exposed to the Anti-Ser778 dynamin. The immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with lambda -Ptase.

Liquid. 100 ul in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Adequate amount of material to conduct 10-mini Western Blots.

Dynamin is a member of a group of nerve terminal proteins called dephosphins that regulate synaptic vesicle endocytosis (Cousin et al., 2001; Graham et al., 2002; Tsuboi et al., 2002). Cyclin dependent protein kinase 5 phosphorylates dynamin at Ser774 and Ser778 that are the phosphorylation sites on dynamin phosphorylated in vivo (Tan et al., 2003). Phosphorylation of these sites on dynamin is thought to play a key role in synaptic vesicle trafficking.
