Anti-STAM, CT (STAM-1, Signal Transducing Adapter Molecule 1, STAM1)

Stimulation of cells with cytokines initiates a signal transduction cascade involving cytokine receptors, Janus kinases (JAKs) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). STAM for 'signal-transducing adaptor molecule, induced after stimulation of cells with cytokine IL2, is a component of signal transduction downstream of JAK3.1 Human STAM cDNA cloned from a T-cell cDNA library encodes a 540aa protein precipitated by anti-phosphotyrosine. Northern blot analysis indicates that STAM is expressed as a 2.9-kb message in a wide variety of tissue and cell types. The STAM sequence contains a Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). It has been suggested that STAM acts as an adaptor molecule in signal transduction pathways from cytokine receptors. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
