APS
Description:
APS is an SH2 and PH domain-containing adaptor protein closely related to Lnk and SH2-B (1). APS was identified as a substrate for many receptor tyrosine kinases including TrkA, insulin receptor, c-Kit and PDGF receptor (2). Tyrosine phosphorylation of APS provides docking sites for downstream signalingcomponents, mediating diverse signaling pathways. APS plays quite different roles in RTK signaling. Overexpression of APS has been shown to inhibit PDGF-induced mitogenicity, which may result from APS/c-Cbl-mediated PDGF receptor degradation (3). However, APS promotes enhanced mitogenicity in response to insulin stimulation (4). The striking difference in APS-mediated signaling between the different RTKs could lie in the mode of interaction with the respective receptor.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
