PAK-1,2,3 (Thr402) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

In mammals, there are several identified isoforms of p21-activated protein kinases or PAKs: α-PAK (also known as PAK-1) and β-PAK (also known as PAK-3) are mostly brain-specific, while γ-PAK (also known as PAK-2) is expressed ubiquitously (Jakobi et al., 2003) . Mutations of the gene coding for PAK-3 are associated with X-linked mental retardation and recent work indicates that PAK-3 is a key regulator of synapse formation and plasticity in the hippocampus (Boda et al., 2004) . PAK-3 is thought to play a key role in regulation of cell shape and motility as well as cell death (Jakobi et al., 2003; Walter et al., 1998) . Autophosphorylation of Thr-402 in the protein has been found to be essential for activation of PAK (Jakobi et al., 2000) .

Source

Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Thr402 of rat p21 activated kinase 2 (PAK-2), conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) .

Applications

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000)

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Modification

Phosphorylation

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~68 kDa PAK protein phosphorylated at Thr402. The immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase. The peptide sequence used is identical in PAK-1, 2 and 3. Note: Thr402 in PAK-2 corresponds to Thr423 in human PAK-1.
