Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK253-3

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: Q9Y3S1

Protein SigNET: Q9Y3S1

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human WNK2 sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01AZD90
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CGSKTASFAASDPVRS

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues G2283 to S2297; 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: WNK2 (PRKWNK2) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the Other group and WNK family. It plays a critical role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, signalling survival, and proliferation. Activation requires autophosphorylation of S356. Phosphorylation of S352 also promotes increased phosphotransferase activity. It activates sodiu-coupled chloride cotransporters and inhibits potassium-coupled chloride cotransporters. It is also involved in reducing ERK1/2 activation. ERK1/2 expression can also increase through activation of of MEK1 via Rac1-mediate PAK1 activation. WNK2 may be a tumour suppressor protein (TSP). WNK2 is also called serologically defined colon cancer antigen 43. Loss of WNK2 expression was found in adult gliomas and triggers Rac1-mediated tumour cell invasiveness. Loss of expression of WNK2 is also found in meningioma and facilitates increased cell cycle progression and proliferation.
