Anti-Mos, CT (Mos, Proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase mos, Oocyte maturation factor mos,

MOS is a proto oncogene (c-Mos) encoded protein serine/threonine kinase. MOS is a monomeric protein that indirectly activates MAP kinase (Erk1/2) by directly phosphorylating MAP kinase kinase (Mck, MAPKK, MKK). MOS is known as a cytostatic factor (CSF) and is also thought to arrest unfertilized amphibian and mammalian cells during M phase, thus regulating oocyte maturation. MOS is destroyed before fertilisation, after exit from meiosis II, making it a good marker for studies of eggs during oogenesis and maturation. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, FLISA, Recommended Dilution: FLISA: 1:1,000, Western Blot: 1:100-500, Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. , , Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
