RAF1, also known as c-RAF, serves as a critical serine/threonine kinase in the MAPK/ERK signaling cascade, where it functions as a key transducer of mitogenic signals from cell surface receptors to downstream effectors. Phosphorylation at serine 259 represents an important regulatory mechanism, as this site mediates 14-3-3 protein binding and influences RAF1 activity and its interactions within the signaling complex. Understanding this phosphorylation event is essential for researchers investigating oncogenic signaling, cell proliferation, and therapeutic targeting of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone 4C9, offers the reproducibility and consistency that phospho-specific detection demands. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined sequences rather than hybridoma-derived sources, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot uniformity that is particularly valuable when tracking subtle changes in phosphorylation status across experimental conditions.
Validation studies confirm reliable performance across multiple applications in human samples. Western blot analysis of HeLa whole cell lysates treated with Calyculin A or EGF demonstrates specific detection at the predicted 73 kDa molecular weight, with recommended dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:5000. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded human endometrial cancer tissue shows clear staining at 1:100 dilution following citrate buffer antigen retrieval. Immunofluorescence studies in HepG2 cells further validate the antibody's utility for subcellular localization studies.
This phospho-RAF1 (S259) antibody supports signal transduction research focused on MAPK pathway dynamics, cancer biology, and growth factor signaling, providing researchers with a dependable tool for interrogating this pivotal regulatory phosphorylation site.
