Validation:
Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 2) shows similar B-raf expression profile in human and mouse cell lines detected by two independent anti-B-raf antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 5777 against central domain and 7379 against a slight different central domain. B-raf proteins are detected in the most tested cell lines at different expression levels by the two independent antibodies.
Isoform: Human B-raf has one isoform (766aa, 84kD) . Mouse B-raf has 2 isoforms, including isoform 1 (804aa, 89kD) and isoform 2 (329aa, 37kD) . Rat B-raf has one isoform (712aa, 80kD) . 5777 can detect in human B-raf and mouse isoform 1.

BACKGROUND: B-raf Antibody: B-raf belongs to the raf/mil family of serine/threonine protein kinases and plays a role in regulating the MAP kinase/ERKs signaling pathway, which affects cell division, differentiation, and secretion. The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and Ras/PI3K/PTEN/Akt pathways interact with each other to regulate growth and in some cases tumorigenesis. Mutations in B-raf have been associated with several cancers, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, thyroid carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma of lung, leading to speculation on the possibility of B-raf as a therapeutic target for treating cancers. Mutations in this gene have also been associated with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS) , a disease characterized by heart defects, mental retardation and a distinctive facial appearance.
