Our iNOS (Tyr-1055) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human, mouse, and rat iNOS (Tyr-1055) and is antigen affinity purified. It is great for use in WB, ICC.
Western blot analysis of mouse macrophages (J774A.1) treated with LPS (1µg/ml) for 18 hrs followed by pervanadate (1 mM) for 30 min. (lanes 1, 3 & 5). The blots were then treated with akaline phosphatase (lanes 2, 4 & 6). Blots were probed with rabbit polyclonal anti-inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) (lanes 1 & 2), anti-iNOS (Tyr-1055) (lanes 3 & 4), and mouse monoclonal anti-iNOS (lanes 5 & 6).
Nitric oxide synthases (NOS), the enzymes responsible for synthesis of NO, are homodimers whose monomers are themselves two fused enzymes: a cytochrome reductase and a cytochrome that requires three cosubstrates (L-arginine, NADPH, and oxygen) and five cofactors or prosthetic groups (FAD, FMN, calmodulin, tetrahydrobiopterin, and heme). Several distinct NOS isoforms are produced from three distinct genes, inducible NOS (iNOS, NOS-II), neuronal NOS (bNOS, NOS-I), and endothelial NOS (eNOS, ecNOS, NOS-III). The inducible form of NOS, iNOS, is Ca2+ independent and is expressed in a broad range of cell types in response to stimulation with cytokines and exposure to microbial products. Phosphorylation of iNOS may regulate its activity and stability. Src kinase-induced phosphorylation of Tyr-1055 in iNOS reduces proteasomal degradation of iNOS, leading to increased NO production. Thus, phosphorylation may be an additional control for regulating iNOS activity in response to inflammatory conditions.

Phospho-iNOS (Tyr-1055) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids surrounding Tyr-1055 in human iNOS. This sequence is well conserved in rat and mouse iNOS, and has some homology to the conserved sites in eNOS (Tyr-1087) and nNOS (Tyr-1326).

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Unconjugated
The antibody detects a 130 kDa* protein corresponding to induced NOS on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse macrophages treated with LPS followed by pervanadate. The antibody also detects a 150 kDa doublet that corresponds with higher molecular weight forms of NOS, which are also observed using other anti-iNOS antibodies. In addition, the antibody detects a non-specific 120 kDa band that has not been identified.
