Target Full Name: Ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1; Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1

Target Alias: RPS6KB1; KS6B1; Ps6K; p70(S6K)-alpha; Ribosomal protein S6 kinase I; RPS6KB1; S6K; S6K1; STK14A

Product Type Specific: RPS6KB1 (p70S6Kb) protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK223-2

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: P23443

Protein SigNET: S6K

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human p70S6K (S6Ka, RPS6KB1) sequence peptide

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: MAGVFDIDLDQPEDAC

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues M24 to A38; Post-N-terminus.

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced on an A.B.I. automated peptide synthesizer. The peptide was cleaved from the synthesis resin with HF and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by amino acid analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Antibody Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: 100 mM Tris-glycine, pH 7.0

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months, but either 0.1% sodium azide or 0.05% Thimerasol should be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Potency: Strong immunoreactivity of target-sized 70 kDa protein in rat tissues, and sea star and frog oocytes.

Antibody Species Reactivity: This antibody detects the target protein in the following species due to conservation of amino acid sequence: Human | Rhesus macaque | Dog | Rat | Mouse.

Antibody Positive Control: The observed molecular mass of the processed target protein on SDS-PAGE gels is reported to be around 63-70 kDa.

Scientific Background: p70S6K (RPS6KB1) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the AGC group of protein kinases in the RSK family, and p70 subfamily. This kinase is highly expressed and widely distributed in most tested human tissues except in the brain and spinal cord where it is more moderately expressed. It functions downstream of mTOR (FRAP1) signalling in response to growth factors to promote cell proliferation, growth, and progression through the cell cycle. p70S6K is activated by phosphorylation at Thr-252 (by PDK1), Ser-394 (by mTOR), Thr-412 (by mTOR), Ser-427, Ser-434 (by ERK1/2), Ser-441, Thr-444 (by ERK1/2) and Ser-447 (by ERK1/2). It plays a crucial role in promoting protein synthesis, cell growth, and proliferation. Acting downstream of the mTORC1 signaling pathway, it phosphorylates the S6 ribosomal protein, which stimulates ribosome function and translation, particularly in response to growth factors and nutrients. It also targets components such as EIF4B, and EEF2K to boost protein synthesis. Its activation by serum stimulation is inhibited by wortmannin and rapamycin. p70S6K phosphotransferase activity changes during the cell cycle, and increases 20-fold in G1 cells released from G0. It has been linked with the development of diet-induced obesity, colon adenocarcinoma and breast cancer. It is often overexpressed in cancer (e.g., breast cancer) and linked to metabolic diseases like obesity and diabetes. This description may include information annotated by UniProt and/or Google AI.
