Phospho-Lyn (Tyr507) Antibody

About the Target

Phospho-Lyn (Tyr507) refers to the phosphorylated form of tyrosine residue 507 located at the C-terminal regulatory region of Lyn, a non-receptor Src family tyrosine kinase. Lyn consists of five domains-SH4 (membrane-anchoring), unique domain, SH3, SH2, and a catalytic SH1 kinase domain-structured to regulate signal transduction in hematopoietic and neural cells. Depending on the literature source, LYN may also be discussed as Phospho-Lyn (Tyr507) and JTK8.

Reported cellular context includes cell membrane, cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, and membrane, which can matter when signal is compared across treatments or changing cell states. Following LYN across matched perturbations can help separate abundance effects from shifts in localization, complex assembly, or pathway state.

Research Context

LYN is commonly interpreted in the context of cancer and cell signaling research, and readouts are often stronger when a study separates expression changes from compartment-level redistribution. When reported signal spans cell membrane, cytoplasm, and golgi apparatus, a defined reference condition can make comparisons more interpretable across perturbations, passages, or replicate sets.

Consider these angles when interpreting target-level changes:

• apparent redistribution between cell membrane, cytoplasm, and golgi apparatus across matched conditions
• changes associated with proliferative state, oncogenic signaling, or treatment response
• signal-dependent shifts after ligand, inhibitor, or growth-factor perturbation
• differences between total target abundance and site-specific regulation when modified forms are compared

Variant Considerations

If your project spans exploratory questions, the regular version offers a balanced option for establishing baseline signal behavior for LYN. This can help when protocols evolve over time and the goal is to compare experiments using a stable reference workflow.

Standardize sampling time, control choice, and downstream analysis thresholds so apparent differences in LYN reflect biology rather than handling. When interpreting LYN, it is often useful to decide early whether the main question is overall abundance, compartmental enrichment, or context-dependent redistribution.

For multi-run studies, a shared reference condition can keep LYN trends easier to compare across datasets. That kind of consistency is especially helpful when follow-up work expands to new perturbations, model systems, or longitudinal collections.
