Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK266-1

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: Q92630

Protein SigNET: Q92630

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human DYRK2 sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01BCT85

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CGSKHTMNDHLHVGSHAHGQ
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues G69 to Q87; Post-N-terminus

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.
Antibody Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human

Antibody Positive Control: The observed molecular mass of the processed target protein on SDS-PAGE gels is reported to be around 60-70 kDa.

Scientific Background: DYRK2 is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CMGC group and DYRK family. It is a dual-specificity protein kinase that regulates cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cytoskeletal organization, and neurite outgrowth. DYRK2 functions downstream of ATM and directly phosphorylates p53/T53 at the S46 to promotion of apoptosis in the presence of DNA damage. In addition, DYRK2 functions in ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal protein degradation, specifically promoting the degradation of the oncoproteins in the Myc and Jun families. DYRK2 appears to be a tumour suppressor protein (TSP). Abnormal expression of DYRK2 have been associated with various forms of human cancer. In breast cancer cells, DYRK2 negatively regulates the stability of Snail, a transcription factor that regulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transistion (EMT). Knock-down of DYRK2 expression in breast cancer cells promotes EMT and tumour invasion both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, tumours with low expression of DYRK2 were correlated with a significantly lower patient survival and higher metastasis rate than tumours with high DYRK2 expression. Therefore, the DYRK2 protein appears to be a critical suppressor of cancer invasion and metastasis. Similarly, the 5-year survival rates of pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients was significant higher for those with DYRK2-positive tumours (89. 2%) than those with DYRK2-negative tumours (66. 3%), indicating a critical role for DYRK2 as a tumour suppressor in this cancer type as well.
