Anti-RPS6KB1 (Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase beta-1, S6K-beta-1, S6K1, 70 kDa Ribosomal Protein S6 Kina

Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (RPS6K1) is the best characterized effector of the mammalian Target of Rapamycin (TOR), an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell growth and cell cycle through its ability to integrate signals from nutrient levels and growth factors (1,2). Nutrients and growth factors stimulate a complex including TOR, raptor , (regulatory associated protein of TOR), and GbetaL to phosphorylate RPS6K1 and the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein (4EBP1), leading to increased protein , synthesis and cell growth (3). RPS6K1 is thought to desensitize tissues to insulin as mice deficient in RPS6K1 have been shown to be hypersensitive to insulin and impervious to obesity-induced insulin resistance seen in wild type obese mice (4). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 5-10ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Jurkat cell lysate , Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and 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., ,
