Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-HPV-18 E6phospho
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Polyclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human papilloma virus
  • Host: Rabbit
  • Application: WB
  • Description: Nearly all cases of cervical cancer are associated with HPV infection, with two types, HPV16 and HPV18, present in 70% of cases. A defining feature of cervical cancers and derived cell lines is the continued expression of two viral oncoproteins, E6 and E7. A defining characteristic of E6 oncoproteins derived from cancer-causing HPV types is the presence of a PDZ binding motif (PBM) at the extreme carboxy terminus of the protein which is absent from E6 proteins derived from the so-called low-risk HPV types. Within this PBM is also a protein kinase A (PKA) phospho-acceptor site, which is thought to negatively regulate the association of E6 with its PDZ domain-containing substrates
