    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 532 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and formulated at 200 µg/mL. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated #4267

    Fluorescent Properties

    • ← Excitation: 531 nm ← Emission: 554 nm

    Product Usage Information

    SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays.

    Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate.

    Storage

    Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    EGF Receptor (D38B1) XP® Rabbit mAb (SignalFlex™ Alexa Fluor® 532 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total EGF receptor protein. The antibody does not cross-react with other proteins of the ErbB family. Species cross-reactivity for IHC-P, IHC-BOND, and IF-IC is human only.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a fusion protein containing the cytoplasmic domain of human EGF receptor.

    Background

    The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that belongs to the HER/ErbB protein family. Ligand binding results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, activation of downstream signaling, internalization, and lysosomal degradation (1,2). Phosphorylation of EGF receptor (EGFR) at Tyr845 in the kinase domain is implicated in stabilizing the activation loop, maintaining the active state enzyme, and providing a binding surface for substrate proteins (3,4). c-Src is involved in phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr845 (5). The SH2 domain of PLCγ binds at phospho-Tyr992, resulting in activation of PLCγ-mediated downstream signaling (6). Phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr1045 creates a major docking site for the adaptor protein c-Cbl, leading to receptor ubiquitination and degradation following EGFR activation (7,8). The GRB2 adaptor protein binds activated EGFR at phospho-Tyr1068 (9). A pair of phosphorylated EGFR residues (Tyr1148 and Tyr1173) provide a docking site for the Shc scaffold protein, with both sites involved in MAP kinase signaling activation (2). Phosphorylation of EGFR at specific serine and threonine residues attenuates EGFR kinase activity. EGFR carboxy-terminal residues Ser1046 and Ser1047 are phosphorylated by CaM kinase II; mutation of either of these serines results in upregulated EGFR tyrosine autophosphorylation (10).
