Product Type Specific: Protein kinase phosphosite-specific antibody

Antibody Code: PK798

Antibody Target Type: Phosphosite-specific

Antibody Phosphosite: Y913

Protein UniProt: Q13464

Protein SigNET: Q13464

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human Rock1 (ROKb) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04APL99

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: EEQ(pY)FEL(bA)C

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues E910 to L916; Just before Rho-Binding domain. This is the major in vivo phosphorylation site in Rock1.

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.

Antibody Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, 0.05% Thimerasol

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Potency: Very strong immunoreactivity of a target-sized protein by Western blotting in A431 cells, andMedium target protein detection in HepG2 cells. Medium immunoreactivity with immunogen peptide on dot blots.

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 150-170 kDa.

Antibody Specificity: Medium- very high

Antibody Cross Reactivity: In A431 cells, almost no significant cross-reactivities detected, except EGF decreases 150 kDa protein detection. In HepG2 cells, a few cross-reactive proteins are detected, including insulin increases in 75, 50, 37 and 15 kDa proteins.

Scientific Background: Rock1 (ROK-beta) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the AGC group and DMPK family. It is a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton and cell polarity. It is activated by binding the small G protein RhoA. D1113A substitution leads to abolished cleavage by caspase-3. Down-regulating Rock1 may be useful strategy for inhibiting migration and invasion of glioma and gastric cancer.
