Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline, 50% glycerol, 0.09% sodium azide

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting

Antibody Dilution Recommended: WB (1:1000); optimal dilutions for assays should be determined by the user.

Antibody Potency: Detects a medium-weak ~95 kDa protein band in rat brain lysates, and a medium ~113 kDa protein band in HeLa cell lysates.

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human | Mouse | Rat

Antibody Positive Control: A 1:1000 dilution of SPC-640 was sufficient for detection of ULK1 in 15 µg of Human HeLa cell lysates by ECL immunoblot analysis using goat anti-rabbit IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.

Antibody Specificity: Very high

Antibody Cross Reactivity: No other prominent cross-reactive proteins in mouse brain lysates.

Scientific Background: UNC-51 like kinase 1 (ULK1) is widely expresed and contains an amino-terminal kinase domain followed by a central proline-serine rich domain and a highly conserved carboxy-terminal domain. It has been linked to axon growth and is essential for autophagy. Structurally, ULK1 is similar to ATG1, and it appears that both Atg1/ULK1 can bind to several ATG proteins regulating phosphorylation states and protein trafficking.
