Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human MRCKa (PK428) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01BED70

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CVLSDRSSLRVTAGPTSLDL

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues C408 to L427; Right after kinase catalytic domain

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: MRCK-a (CDC42BPA, CDC42-binding protein kinase A) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the AGC group and DMPK family. It is a critical downstream effector and plays a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton remodelling and cell migration. Agonist binding to the phorbol ester binding site disrupts this, releasing the kinase domain to allow N-terminus-mediated dimerization and kinase activation by transautophosphorylation. MRCK-a is maintained in an inactive, closed conformation by an interaction between the kinase domain and the negative autoregulatory C-terminal coiled-coil region.
