Invitrogen™ Phospho-FLT3 (Tyr842) Polyclonal Antibody

Description

Antibody detects endogenous levels of Flt3 / CD135 only when phosphorylated at Tyr842.

FLT3 is a tyrosine protein kinase that is a member of the growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase family. The receptor is activated by binding of the fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand to the extracellular domain, which induces homodimer formation in the plasma membrane leading to autophosphorylation of the receptor. The activated receptor kinase subsequently phosphorylates and activates multiple cytoplasmic effector molecules in pathways involved in apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic cells in bone marrow. Mutations that result in the constitutive activation of this receptor result in acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
