Anti-phospho-JAK2, (Tyr317) (Janus Kinase 1, tyrosine-protein kinase JAK2)

JAK2 (Janus Kinase 2) belongs to the emerging family of non-receptor Janus tyrosine kinases, which regulate a spectrum of cellular functions downstream of activated cytokine receptors in the lympho-hematopoietic system. Immunological stimuli, such as interferons and cytokines, induce recruitment of Stat transcription factors to cytokine receptor-associated JAK2. JAK2 then phosphorylates proximal Stat factors, which subsequently dimerize, translocate to the nucleus and bind to CIS elements upstream of target gene promoters to regulate transcription. The canonical JAK/Stat pathway is integral to maintaining a normal immune system by stimulating proliferation, differentiation, survival and host resistance to pathogens. Altering JAK/Stat signaling to reduce cytokine induced pro-inflammatory responses represents an attractive target for anti-inflammatory therapies. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:500 detected phospho-JAK2 (Tyr317) on JAK2 IP lysate., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
