Cortactin is cytoskeleton protein that facilitates assembly of cortical actin. Cortactin is widely expressed in most adherent cells and is a prominent substrate of protein-tyrosine kinase Src in vivo and in vitro. The protein sequence of cortactin contains multiple amino-terminal tandem repeats of a unique 37-amino acid sequence, which associates with actin, and a Src homology 3 domain at the carboxyl terminus.
Specificity
The antibody detects the 80-85 kDa protein of cortactin.
Immunogen
Phosphorylated cortactin (Tyr466) synthetic peptide corresponding to mouse amino acid residues around tyrosine 466 (tyrosine 470 in the human sequence).
Application
Research Category Cell Structure
Research Sub Category Cytoskeleton
This Anti-Cortactin Antibody, phospho-specific [Tyr466] is validated for use in WB for the detection of Cortactin.
Physical form
Antibody is cross-adsorbed to nonphospho-peptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation and preadsorbed with phosphopeptides to cortactin tyrosine 421 and 482 to remove cross-reactivity then affinity purified using phosphorylated cortactin (Tyr466) peptide. Antibody is supplied in phosphate-buffered saline (no Ca2+, no Mg2+), pH 7.3, containing 1 mg/ml BSA, and 0.05% sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Maintain at -20°C for up to one year from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Leishmania secretes over 151 proteins during in vitro cultivation. Cellular functions of one such novel protein: mevalonate kinase is discussed here; signifying its importance in Leishmania infection. Visceral Leishmaniasis is a persistent infection, caused by Leishmania donovani in Indian subcontinent.
