Anti-Sprouty-4 SPRY4 Antibody

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C 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 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

Liquid (sterile filtered)

This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band (maybe a doublet) ~35 kDa in size corresponding to Sprouty-4 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Some non-specific banding may be observed using this antibody.

SPRY4

Sprouty-4 (also known as SPRY4) is an inhibitor of the insulin receptor and EGFR-transduced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway downstream of FGF and EGF receptor tyrosine kinase activation. It is positioned upstream of RAS activation and impairs the formation of active GTP-RAS. SPRY4 is widely expressed, with different isoforms. The protein consists of 322 amino acids, with a cysteine-rich region, Src homology 3 binding regions, proline-rich regions, and a PEST sequence. It is expressed predominantly in the cytoplasm. Northern results show bands across most tissues, with strongest expression in heart, brain, placenta, lung, and intestine.

1.1 mg/mL by UV absorbance at 280 nm

Suppresses the insulin receptor and EGFR-transduced MAPK signaling pathway, but does not inhibit MAPK activation by a constitutively active mutant Ras. Probably impairs the formation of GTP-Ras. Inhibits Ras-independent, but not Ras-dependent, activation of RAF1.
