Description
The SigPath™ Human/Mouse LKB1(S431) Phosphorylation ELISA Kit provides a rapid and sensitive solution for measuring pLKB1(S431) levels directly in cultured cells. By normalizing phosphorylation to total protein content within the same well, this high-throughput system eliminates cell lysis steps, ensuring precise data for screening inhibitors and studying tumor suppressor signaling pathways in drug discovery.
Features
Superior Sensitivity: Employs high-affinity antibody pairs for precise detection of endogenous phospho-LKB1 levels in diverse cell lysates and tissue samples. Dual-Species Reactivity: Offers validated performance across both human and mouse models, ensuring seamless cross-species experimental consistency and reliable data translation. Optimized Assay Format: Streamlined sandwich ELISA protocol minimizes hands-on time while delivering robust, reproducible results through standardized, pre-coated microplate components. Phospho-Specific Accuracy: Specifically targets the Serine 431 residue, eliminating cross-reactivity with non-phosphorylated isoforms for high-fidelity signaling pathway analysis.

Background
LKB1 acts as a master upstream kinase regulating cellular energy homeostasis. Phosphorylation at S431 by PKA or p90RSK modulates its tumor-suppressive functions and downstream AMPK activation.
Pathways
LKB1 participates in the AMPK/mTOR signaling axis, integrating signals from the cAMP/PKA pathway. It bridges extracellular stimuli to intracellular metabolic shifts, influencing growth and survival.
