Mouse/Rat Phospho-DARPP-32 (T34) Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Antibody

Dopamine- and cAMP-Regulated Neuronal Phosphoprotein, Mr 32 kDa (DARPP-32), also known as PPP1R1B, is a 23 kilodalton protein which anomalously migrates at about 32 - 35 kDa on SDS-PAGE. When phosphorylated at T34 by protein kinase A (PKA), it is a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). Dephosphorylation of DARPP-32 at T34 is achieved primarily by the calcium-dependent activation of the phosphatase calcineurin. DARPP-32 is expressed almost exclusively in neuronal tissues, with highest levels in dopamine-innervated neurons. Phosphorylation of DARPP-32 at T34 has been used as an index of PKA activation.
