Immunogen
Synthesized phospho-peptide around the phosphorylation site of human Eps15 (phospho Tyr849)
Specificity
Phospho-Eps15 (Y849) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of Eps15 protein only when phosphorylated at Y849.
Formulation

Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/10000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
This gene encodes a protein that is part of the EGFR pathway. The protein is present at clatherin-coated pits and is involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of EGF. Notably, this gene is rearranged with the HRX/ALL/MLL gene in acute myelogeneous leukemias. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Function
disease:A chromosomal aberration involving EPS15 is found in acute leukemias. Translocation t(1;11)(p32;q23) with MLL/HRX. The result is a rogue activator protein.,domain:The EH domain interacts with Asn-Pro-Phe (NPF) motifs of target proteins.,function:Involved in cell growth regulation. May be involved in the regulation of mitogenic signals and control of cell proliferation. Involved in the internalization of ligand-inducible receptors of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) type, in particular EGFR. Plays a role in the assembly of clathrin-coated pits.,PTM:Phosphorylation on Tyr-849 is involved in the internalization of EGFR. Not required for membrane translocation after EGF treatment or for targeting to coated pits, but essential for a subsequent step in EGFR endocytosis (By similarity). Phosphorylated on serine upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Contains 2 EF-hand dom

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit. Recruited to the plasma membrane upon EGFR activation and localizes to coated pits. Colocalizes with UBQLN1 in ubiquitin-rich cytoplasmic aggregates that are not endocytic compartments and in cytoplasmic juxtanuclear structures called aggresomes. .; [Isoform 2]: Early endosome membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Colocalizes with HGS on bilayered clathrin coats on endosomes.
Tissue expression
Ubiquitously expressed.
