Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

KSR1 (kinase suppressor of Ras 1) regulates cell proliferation by controlling the activation of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) by growth factor. It aids in the induction of Ras in Raf/MEK/ERK kinase pathway. Upon Ras activation and stimulation by growth factor, KSR1 moves to the plasma membrane. It then aids in the activation of MEK (Mitogen/Extracellular signal-regulated Kinase) by Raf and of ERK by MEK. The expression of KSR1 is regulated during T-cell differentiation, and it might play an essential role in T-cell activation and differentiation. Its expression also determines the sensitivity of cancer cells to cisplatin treatment, where the up-regulation of KSR1 is linked with increased cisplatin-induced ERK activation.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The molecular scaffold kinase suppressor of Ras 1 (KSR1) regulates the activation of the Raf/MEK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signal transduction pathway. KSR1 disruption in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) abrogates growth factor-induced ERK activation, H-Ras(V12)-induced replicative senescence, and H-Ras(V12)-induced transformation. Caveolin-1

Kinase suppressor of Ras1 (KSR1) interacts with several mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway components, including Raf, MAP/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK), and ERK, and acts as a positive regulator of the Ras signaling cascade. Previous studies have shown that

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways that regulate cell fate decisions. They generate a wide range of signal outputs, including graded and digital responses. In T cells, MAPK activation is digital in response to T-cell-receptor stimulation;
