ZAP70 (zeta-chain (TCR) associated protein kinase 70kD), expressed primarily in T and NK cells, is a Syk family cytosolic protein tyrosine kinase that consists of two N-terminal SH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. Upon T cell receptor activation and phosphorylation of TCR ITAMs by Src family kinases, ZAP70 is recruited to phosphorylated ITAM sequences and subsequently phosphorylated on several tyrosine residues. ZAP70 has been implicated in several immune disorders. An autosomal recessive form of SCID in humans has been attributed to a homozygous mutation in the kinase domain of ZAP70. ZAP70 expression also defines an aggressive subset of CLL.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1.0ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
