Antibody Phosphosite: T982
Protein UniProt: Q9NZJ5 Protein SigNET: Q9NZJ5 Antibody Type: Polyclonal
Antibody Host Species: Rabbit
Antibody Immunogen Source: Human EIF2AK3 (PERK) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04AON99
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: ARH(pT)GQV(bA)C
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues A889 to V895; In protein kinase catalytic domain activation T-loop between subdomains VII and VIII.
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.This antibody was also subject to negative purification over phosphotyrosine-agarose.
Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Related Product 1: EIF2AK3-pT982 blocking peptide Scientific Background: PERK (EIF2AK3) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the Other group and PEK family. It serves as a critical effector of unfolded protein response-induced G1 growth arrest. Perturbation in protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) promotes reversible dissociation from HSPA5/BIP and oligomerization, resulting in transautophosphorylation and induction of its phosphotransferase activity.
