Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK085-3

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: O60674

Protein SigNET: O60674

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human JAK2 sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01ARZ75

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CDLALRVDQIRDNMAG

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues D1118 to G1132; Kinase last alpha-chain+C-terminus

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: JAK2 is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and JAKA family. It is a non-receptor kinase involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, development, differentiation, and histone modifications. Additionally, JAK2 plays a critical role in the signalling events of both innate and adaptive immunity as well as erythropoiesis. JAK2 can pair with type I receptors to mediate signalling for GHR (growth hormone), PRLR (prolactin), (LEPR) leptin, EPOR (erythropoietin), and THPO (thrombopoietin). JAK2 can also pair with type II receptors to mediate the effects of IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IFN-gamma, and various interleukins. It is activated by phosphorylation at Y613, and Y972, and Y1008. JAK2 signalling has been implicated in in a wide range of human hematologic malignancies, and this is typically accompanied by the over-activation of the STAT5 transcription factor, which is a substrate. Polycythemia vera, thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis are classified as clonal myeloproliferative diseases that arise from a multipotent progenitor cell type. These often rare diseases are characterized by excess production of abnormal cells, displacing healthy cells. JAK2 is a known oncoprotein (OP). Cancer-related mutations in human tumours point to a gain of function of the protein kinase. A high percentage of patients with these myeloproliferative diseases have a dominant gain-of-function substitution mutation, V617F, in the JAK2 gene sequence. For example, the V617F mutation was observed in 40 of 45 polycythemia vera patients. The mutation was observed to cause constitutive tyrosine phosphotransferase activity that promoted erythrocytosis in a mouse model.
