Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat Raf-1 Antibody

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat Raf-1 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat Raf-1 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, A431 human epithelial carcinoma cell line, L-929 mouse fibroblast cell line, and NRK rat normal kidney cell line. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Raf-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4540) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for Raf-1 at approximately 74 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 3.
Raf-1 antibody in Human Liver by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Raf‑1 in Human Liver.

Raf-1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human liver array using Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Raf-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4540) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Lower panel shows a lack of labeling if primary antibodies are omitted and tissue is stained only with secondary antibody followed by incubation with detection reagents.

Detection of Human Raf-1 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Raf-1 at approximately 75 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Raf-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4540) . This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Background: Raf-1

The Raf serine/threonine kinases are effectors of Ras that function as MAP3Ks in the ERK phosphorylation cascade. Mammals express three Raf proteins: A-Raf, B-Raf, and Raf-1, also known as C-Raf. Human Raf-1 contains three distinct regions; an N-terminal RBD (Ras-binding domain) (aa 56 - 131), followed by two rich segments [a cysteine-finger region (aa 138 - 184) (also called CR1/C1) and a second cysteine-rich region (CR2) (aa 253 - 264)] and a C-terminal Ser/Thr kinase catalytic domain (aa 354 - 611). Active Raf-1 phosphorylates and activates the MAPK kinases MEK1 and 2, which in turn phosphorylate and activate the MAP kinases ERK1 and 2.
