Product Details

Background

Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in autophagy in response to starvation . Acts upstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase PIK3C3 to regulate the formation of autophagophores, the precursors of autophagosomes . Part of regulatory feedback loops in autophagy: acts both as a downstream effector and negative regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) via interaction with RPTOR . Activated via phosphorylation by AMPK and also acts as a regulator of AMPK by mediating phosphorylation of AMPK subunits PRKAA1, PRKAB2 and PRKAG1, leading to negatively regulate AMPK activity . May phosphorylate ATG13/KIAA0652 and RPTOR; however such data need additional evidences . Plays a role early in neuronal differentiation and is required for granule cell axon formation .

Application

To ensure optimal assay performance, AREX recommends conducting reagent titration tailored to each testing system for optimal detection results.

WB	1:500 - 1:1000
IF/ICC	1:50 - 1:200

Data

Western blot analysis of ULK1 expression in HepG2 (A), Hela (B) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 112 kD; Observed band size: 150 kD)

Immunofluorescent analysis of ULK1 staining in L929 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AREX® Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibody (red) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Storage

Store at 4°C short term. For long term storage, store at -20°C, avoiding freeze/thaw cycles.

Note

For Research Use Only. Not for diagnostic, therapeutics, prophylactic or in vivo use.

FAQs

What are the main types of research antibodies and how do they differ?

Research antibodies are mainly divided into monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies typically offer higher specificity and better batch-to-batch consistency, while polyclonal antibodies often provide stronger affinity but may show more variation between batches. The choice depends on your specific experimental needs.

How can I tell if a research antibody is suitable for my experiment?

It is recommended to carefully review the product datasheet for validated applications, species reactivity, recommended dilutions, and published references. For new antibodies, performing a small-scale validation with positive control samples is usually helpful.

Can improper storage of research antibodies affect experimental results?

Yes. Antibodies are sensitive to temperature, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and contamination. Improper storage may lead to reduced activity, increased background, or weaker signals. It is best to follow the storage instructions provided in the product datasheet.

Why doesn’t the recommended dilution in the datasheet work well in my experiment?

The recommended dilution is based on the supplier’s test conditions. Factors such as sample type, fixation method, and detection system in your lab can influence the optimal working concentration. Performing a dilution series optimization in your own system is often necessary.

What precautions should I take when using a newly purchased research antibody for the first time?

It is advisable to briefly centrifuge the antibody (especially concentrated or lyophilized ones), then perform a small-scale pilot experiment using the recommended conditions. Recording the batch number and usage date is also helpful for future tracking.
