0.01% Sodium azide
Storage
Store as concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4ºC. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20ºC or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Concentration

Antigen Species
Human
Immunogen
Human Muscle Glycogen Synthase phospho peptide corresponding to a region of the human protein conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) - AQGYRYPRPA(pS)VP (aa 631-642).
Purification
Purified by antigen-affinity chromatography.
This antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Antiserum was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed agains
Conjugation
Unconjugated

Background
Human muscle glycogen synthase (GS) is responsible for the biosynthesis of glycogen from phosphorylated glucose units. Mammalian liver and muscle contain GS consisting of four subunits with a total molecular weight of 360,000. GS is subject to regulation through both allosteric and covalent modification and occurs in two forms: the phosphorylated inactive form, and the dephosphorylated active form. GS is inactivated by the serine/threonine kinase called glycogen synthase kinase-3b that mainly functions to phosphorylate muscle glycogen synthase. This antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of GS at Ser 640. Phosphorylation of GS at S640 has been associated with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.
