Anti-phospho-Elk1 (Thr417) (ETS Domain-containing Protein Elk-1)

Elk-1 is a transcription factor that is part of the ets oncogene superfamily. Elk-1 forms a ternary complex with the serum response factors, SRE and SRF, mediating gene activity in response to serum and growth factors. Activation by several mitogen-activated protein kinases (Erk1 and Erk2) mediates the immediate early responses of the c-fos promoter to growth factors and other stimuli. Serines 383 and 389 in the C-terminal region are the preferred sites for phosphorylation-induced activation. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunofluorescence: 1:100-1:200, Immunohistochemistry: 1:50-1:100 , Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
