Our Anti-FMRP (Ser499) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects chicken, human, mouse, and rat FMRP (Ser499) and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB, IHC.
Western blot of rat hippocampal lysate showing specific immunolabeling of the ~71 kDa FMRP protein phosphorylated at Ser499 in the first lane (-). Phosphospecificity is shown in the second lane (+) where immunolabeling is completely eliminated by lysate treatment with lambda phosphatase (400 units/100uL lysate for 30 min).
Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is an RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in cognitive brain function. Mutations in the FMR1 gene, which codes for FMRP, can result in fragile X syndrome, autism, as well as other cognitive deficits (Brown et al.,1998, Goodlin-Jones et al., 2004). Phosphorylation of the highly conserved Ser-499 has been shown to trigger hierarchical phosphorylation of nearby serines and may play a role in suppressing target mRNA translation (Ceman et al., 2003, Narayanan et al. 2008).

Rabbit
FMR1
71 kDa
Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser499 of rat FMRP, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).
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.
Liquid
Prepared from pooled rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho and non-phosphopeptide affinity columns.
10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.
WB: 1:1000
WB Brain: 1:1000
IHC: 1:250-1:1000
Unconjugated
Specific for endogenous levels of the ~71 kDa FMRP protein phosphorylated at Ser499. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.
