    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Phospho-ALK (Tyr1278) (D59G10) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of ALK only when phosphorylated at Tyr1278, which is equivalent to Tyr338 of NPM-ALK. This antibody also reacts with leukocyte tyrosine kinase (LTK) phosphorylated at Tyr672, and may cross-react with other activated protein tyrosine kinases such as EGFR.

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr1278 of human ALK protein.

    Background

    Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a tyrosine kinase receptor for pleiotrophin (PTN), a growth factor involved in embryonic brain development (1-3). In ALK-expressing cells, PTN induces phosphorylation of both ALK and the downstream effectors IRS-1, Shc, PLCγ, and PI3 kinase (1). ALK was originally discovered as a nucleophosmin (NPM)-ALK fusion protein produced by a translocation (4). Investigators have found that the NPM-ALK fusion protein is a constitutively active, oncogenic tyrosine kinase associated with anaplastic lymphoma (4). Research literature suggests that activation of PLCγ by NPM-ALK may be a crucial step for its mitogenic activity and involved in the pathogenesis of anaplastic lymphomas (5).
    A distinct ALK oncogenic fusion protein involving ALK and echinoderm microtubule-associated protein like 4 (EML4) has been described in the research literature from a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, with corresponding fusion transcripts present in some cases of lung adenocarcinoma. The short, amino-terminal region of the microtubule-associated protein EML4 is fused to the kinase domain of ALK (6-8).
    Phosphorylation of ALK on Tyr1278 was identified at Cell Signaling Technology using PTMScan® technology, a proprietary LC-MS/MS method for phosphorylation site discovery. Phosphorylation of ALK at Tyr1278 was observed in select carcinoma cell lines and in tumors (6).
