Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK247-2

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: Q5VST9

Protein SigNET: Q5VST9

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human Obscn sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01AXY85

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CLSHPWFLKSMPAEEA

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues C6715 to A6730; Kinase last alpha-chain

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: Obscn is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CAMK group and Trio family. It is a protein kinase, and a cytoskeletal calmodulin and titin-interacting RhoGEF. It is part of a family of giant sacromeric signalling proteins that includes titin and nebulin, and has been implicated in the organization of myofibrils during assembly and mediation of interactions between the the sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofibrils. It seems to be an adapter protein that is involved in assembly of myosin into sarcomeric A bands in striated muscle. Isoform 3 together with ANK1 isoform Mu17/Ank1.5 may provide a molecular link between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofibrils. Although it demonstrates a high rate of mutation in cancer cells, it is unclear how this implicates in oncogenesis. A chromosomal aberration involving Obscn has been reported in Wilms tumour, and the gene has a translocation t(1;7)(q42;p15) with PTHB1. Due to its large size, there is a greater chance of mutations being detected in this protein in human cancers, and these may be mainly bystander mutations.
