PP5 Antibody

Proteins in this family participate in pathways regulated by reversible phosphorylation at serine and threonine residues, potentially playing a role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. PP5 or PPT is predominantly a nuclear protein and interacts with CDC16 and CDC27. It is found in association with several proteins that influence intracellular signlaing-cascades intitiated by hormones (glucocorticoids) or cellular stress (hypoxia, oxidative stress and DNA Damage). It phosphorylates serine residues of skeletal muscle phosphorylase and histone H1. It may also be involved in mitosis and RNA biogenesis regulation (1,2).

1 µg/ml of SMC-244 was sufficient for detection of PP5 in 15 µg of human A431 lysates by ECL analysis using Goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.
