Anti-Abl (c-, v-, Bcr-) Antibody, clone 24-21

c-Abl, v-Abl, and Bcr-abl are ubiquitously expressed non-receptor tyrosine kinases that are involved in a plethora of cellular processes. c-Abl is involved in cytoskeleton remodeling and facilitates cell adhesion and cell motility. c-Abl achieves cytoskeleton remodeling by phosphorylating and activating a wide variety of cytoskeleton-associated proteins such as WASF3, ANXA1, DBN1, DBNL, CTTN, RAPH1, ENAH, MAPT, and PXN. Abl-1 also phosphorylates a number of receptor tyrosine kinases and is involved in regulating levels of EGFR by endocytosis. c-Abl may also play a role in DNA damage response via the ATM pathway, among other cellular processes. Whereas v-Abl is known to be involved in pre-B cell transformation in mice, Bcr-Abl is reported to promote cellular growth in leukemia cells and maintain CML phenotype. Many v-Abl- and Bcr-abl-mediated signaling events have been described; however the complexity and function of these pathways require further elucidation.

~125 kDa and ~190 kDa observed. Uniprot describes a molecular weight of c-Abl at ~122 kDa Uniprot describes that this protein is subject to post-translational modification. This antibody detected c-Abl (~125 kDa) and Bcr-Abl (~190 kDa) in K562 cell lysate. An uncharacterized band at ~27 kDa may be observed in some cell lysates.

Recombinant protein corresponding to the carboxyl region of human v-Abl fused with TrpE.
