Detection of Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5536) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 at approximately 45 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.
Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 antibody in HepG2 Human Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 in HepG2 Human Cell Line.

Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 was detected in immersion fixed HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line using Sheep Anti-Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5536) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 antibody in Human Prostate by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 in Human Prostate.

Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate using Sheep Anti-Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5536) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and nuclei of epithelial cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.
Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 Antibody in ELISA Standard Curve.

Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 ELISA Standard Curve.

Recombinant Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 protein was serially diluted 2-fold and captured by Mouse Anti-Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5536) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Sheep Anti-Human Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5536) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998) followed by Substrate Solution (Catalog # DY999) and stopping the enzymatic reaction with Stop Solution (Catalog # DY994).

Background: Sphingosine Kinase 1/SPHK1

Sphingosine kinases are cytosolic or membrane-associated enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Two types of sphingosine kinases, SPHK1 and SPHK2, are known to be expressed in human cells. The two enzymes share considerable amino acid sequence similarity, but differ in their N‑terminal and central regions (1). The two proteins also differ in tissue distribution and some kinetic properties (1). S1P is a lipid messenger that regulates diverse physiological processes including cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, inflammation, calcium homeostasis and cytoskeletal structure (2, 3). The level of S1P is tightly controlled by SPHKs and S1P degrading enzymes. SPHK1 and its activation can be stimulated by several growth factors such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta (3, 4). Expression of SPHK1 has been found to increase in many human solid tumors and overexpression of SPHK1 is associated with tumor angiogenesis (5). Such studies have implicated SPHK1 as a new target for cancer treatment.
