Immunocytochemical labeling of VASP phosphorylation in rabbit spleen fibroblasts treated with Calyculin A. The cells were labeled with rabbit polyclonal VASP (Thr-278) antibody, then detected using appropriate secondary antibodies conjugated to Cy3. The antibody was used in the absence (top left) or presence (top right) of blocking peptide (VX2785). Corresponding phase images are shown bottom left and right.

Western blot image of human A431 cells stimulated with calyculin A (100 nM) for 30 min. The blots were untreated (lanes 1 & 3) or treated with lambda phosphatase (lanes 2 & 4), then probed with mouse monoclonal VASP (C-term.) antibody (lanes 1 & 2) or rabbit polyclonal VASP (Thr-278) phospho-specific antibody (lanes 3 & 4).

Product Details

Target

VASP (Thr-278)

Target Description

Actin filament tethering and bundling are important mechanisms involved in actin superstructure assembly. The ENA/VASP family includes VASP, mena, and Ena-Vasp-like (EVL). These multidomain proteins localize to the leading edge of filopodia where they associate with AFs, interact with profilin, and compete with capping proteins at the barbed end of AFs. Artificial relocalization of VASP from the plasma membrane to mitochondrial membranes inhibits filopodial formation and axon branching, while deletion of all three ENA/VASP proteins produces defects in cortical axon-tract formation. Regulation of VASP protein activity occurs through phosphorylation at Ser-157, Ser-239, and Thr-278. AMPK phosphorylates Thr-278, leading to impaired actin stress fiber assembly and changes in cell morphology.

Molecular Weight

Antigen

Phospho-VASP (Thr-278) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponding to amino acids surrounding threonine 278 in human VASP. This sequence has significant homology to the conserved site in rat and mouse VASP, but is not conserved in mena or EVL proteins.

Species Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Storage

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Physical State

Liquid

Buffer

PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Dilution Ranges

WB: 1:1000
ICC: 1:100

Conjugate

Unconjugated

Specificity

The antibody detects a 50 kDa* band corresponding to VASP in Western blots of human A431 and HeLa cells, as well as mouse C2C12 cells that have been treated with calyculin A.
