Conjugate | Unconjugated |
Target Species | Human |
Reactivity | Human, Mouse |

Application Note | Pdcd4 phospho S457 Antibody is tested by ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 62 kDa in size corresponding to phosphorylated Pdcd4 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. This phospho-specific monoclonal antibody reacts with human Pdcd4 pS457 and shows minimal reactivity by ELISA against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. |
Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
Immunogen | This monoclonal antibody was produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser457 of the human Pdcd4 protein. |
Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
Gene ID | 27250 |

Other Names | 27250 |
Purity | Pdcd4 phospho S457 Antibody was purified from concentrated tissue culture supernate by Protein A chromatography. This antibody is specific for human Pdcd4 protein phosphorylated at Ser457. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Pdcd4 from human, mouse, rat and Xenopus based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with Pdcd4 from other sources has not been determined. |
Storage Condition | Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Name | PDCD4 |

Synonyms | H731 |
Function | Inhibits translation initiation and cap-dependent translation. May excert its function by hindering the interaction between EIF4A1 and EIF4G. Inhibits the helicase activity of EIF4A. Modulates the activation of JUN kinase. Down-regulates the expression of MAP4K1, thus inhibiting events important in driving invasion, namely, MAPK85 activation and consequent JUN-dependent transcription. May play a role in apoptosis. Tumor suppressor. Inhibits tumor promoter-induced neoplastic transformation. Binds RNA (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61823}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61823}. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm (By similarity). Predominantly nuclear under normal growth conditions, and when phosphorylated at Ser-457 (PubMed:16357133) |
Tissue Location | Up-regulated in proliferative cells. Highly expressed in epithelial cells of the mammary gland. Reduced expression in lung cancer and colon carcinoma. |

Background
Programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4) is a novel tumor suppressor. Pdcd4 directly inhibits the helicase activity of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), a component of the translation initiation complex. Pdcd4 also suppresses the transactivation of activator protein-1 (AP-1)-responsive promoters by c-Jun. Pdcd4 contains two Akt phosphorylation sites, one at Ser67 and the other at Ser457. The phosphorylation of Pdcd4 by Akt causes nuclear translocation of Pdcd4 and a significant decrease in the ability of Pdcd4 to interfere with the transactivation of AP-1-responsive promoters by c-Jun.
