Antibody Target Type: Phosphosite-specific

Antibody Phosphosite: Y1234+Y1235

Protein UniProt: P08581

Protein SigNET: Met

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human Met sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04AFO99

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: KE(pY)(pY)SVH(bA)C

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues K1232 to H1238; In protein kinase catalytic domain activation T-loop between subdomains VII and VIII. Y1234 and Y1235 phosphorylation stimulate phosphotransferase activity. Y1234 and Y1235 phosphorylation induces binding to PTPN1 and PTPN2, and Y1234 phosphorylation also induces interaction with Grb2. These are two of the major in vivo phosphorylation sites in Met (≥771 and ≥453 reports, respectively, from high throughput mass spectrometry studies recorded in PhosphoSitePlus). Met is known to be phosphorylated in vitro at Y1234 by Met, and Ron (MST1R), and at Y1235 by Met, and Ron (MST1R).

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry 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 for 4 months. 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.This antibody was also subject to negative purification over phosphotyrosine-agarose.

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

Scientific Background: Met (HGFR) is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and Met family. Met is produced as a single-chain precursor, then cleaved to form a disulfide-linked heterodimer: a 50 kDa extracellular alpha subunit, and 145 kDa beta subunit with a Sema domain, a PSI domain, and an intracellular region containing a juxtamembrane domain, a tyrosine kinase domain, and a docking site. It is activated by binding hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to the Sema domain, and this induces dimerization and autophosphorylation. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1003 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with Cbl. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1230 and Tyr-1235 increases phosphotransferase activity. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1234 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with Grb2. Phosphorylation of S985 inhibits phosphotransferase activity. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1349 inhibits phosphotransferase activity, but induces interaction with FAK, Gab1, Grb2, Met, PIK3R1, PLCG1 and Src. Met mediates scattering, proliferation, survival, and morphogenesis of cells. Some immediate regulators that bind to Met after activation with HGF include PLCG1, PIK3R1, GRB2, SRC, STAT3 or the adapter GAB1. Met is a known oncoprotein. Cancer-related mutations in human tumours point to a gain of function of the protein kinase. Overexpression, amplification, or mutation drives various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer, and kidney cancer. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) also occurs with higher risk in those that have chronic HCV (hepatitis C virus) or HBV (hepatitis B virus) infection, or aflatoxin exposure in diet, or alcohol-induced cirrhosis, or another form of cirrhosis.
