Hippo Pathway: Upstream Signaling Antibody Sampler Kit #56612

    Product Information

    Product Description

    The Hippo Pathway Proteins Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of detecting proteins that have been identified as upstream regulators of the Hippo Signaling Pathway. The kit provides enough antibody to perform two western blot experiments with each primary antibody.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Each antibody in the Hippo Pathway Proteins Antibody Sampler Kit detects endogenous levels of its target protein.

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic peptides corresponding to residues surrounding Ala200 of mouse TAZ, Phe608 of human FRMD6, Leu737 of human PTPN14, Gln470 of human merlin, Arg77 of human Ajuba, Pro9 of human MST1, and recombinant protein corresponding to the carboxy terminus of human YAP protein. The sequence region surrounding the YAP epitope is 100% conserved among all known isoforms of YAP.

    Background

    The Hippo Signaling Pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling cascade that regulates cell, tissue and organ growth in response to diverse environmental cues, including cell density, mechanical stress, growth factors and cytokines, and metabolic signaling (1,2). In mammals, the core components of this pathway are YAP and TAZ, transcriptional co-activators that regulate the expression of target genes that control cell proliferation and survival (3). The transcriptional control of YAP/TAZ target genes is regulated through a complex kinase cascade involving mammalian sterile-20-like kinases (MST1/2), LATS1/2 kinases and key adaptor proteins. Phosphorylation of YAP and TAZ by LATS kinases results in cytoplasmic sequestration of YAP and TAZ, inhibiting transcriptional activation of their target genes. A number of proteins have been identified that function upstream of MST1/2 and LATS1/2 to influence LATS-mediated phosphorylation of YAP/TAZ. These include the tumor suppressor protein Merlin (4), the FERM-domain containing protein 6 (FRMD6/Willin) (5), the LIM-domain containing adaptor protein Ajuba (6,7), and the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN14 (8).
