Detects and quantifies the level of CREB (cAMP-Response Element-Binding protein) phosphorylated at Ser133 in human and mouse cells. CREB is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. It induces transcription of target genes in response to several stimuli such as peptide hormones and growth factors.

|---|---|---|---|
   The sensitivity of this ELISA was compared to immunoblotting using known quantities of CREB (pSer<sup>133</sup>). The data show that the sensitivity of the ELISA is approximately 4x greater than that of immunoblotting. The bands shown in the immunoblot data were developed using rabbit anti- CREB (pSer<sup>133</sup>) and an alkaline phosphatase conjugated anti-rabbit IgG followed by chemiluminescent detection.  Natural CREB (pSer<sup>133</sup>) from Forskolin-treated HeLa cells was serially diluted in Standard Diluent Buffer. The absorbance of each dilution was plotted against the CREB (pSer<sup>133</sup>) standard curve. Parallelism was demonstrated by the figure above and indicated that the standard accurately reflects CREB (pSer<sup>133</sup>) content in samples.  HeLa cells were treated with 200 µM Forskolin for 20 min at 37°C. Untreated HeLa cells were used as control. All lysates were prepared and analyzed using the CREB (pSer<sup>133</sup>) ELISA Kit and CREB ELISA Kit. The total CREB remained comparable while the level of phosphorylated CREB increased after Forskolin treatment.  The specificity of this assay for phosphorylated CREB (pSer<sup>133</sup>) was confirmed by peptide competition. The data show that the phosphopeptide containing the phosphorylated Ser<sup>133</sup> blocks the ELISA signal. Non-phosphorylated peptide does not block the signal. |
