Target Full Name: MAPK-MAK-MRK overlapping kinase; MOK protein kinase

Target Alias: RAGE; RAGE1

Product Type Specific: Protein kinase pan-specific antibody

Antibody Code: NK281-1

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: Q9UQ07

Protein SigNET: Q9UQ07

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human MOK (RAGE) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01BEB85

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: EQRKTEKRALGSHRKAGC

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues E287 to G303; Right after kinase catalytic domain

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.
Antibody Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Scientific Background: MOK is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CMGC group and RCK family. Phosphorylation appears to increase its enzymatic activity. MOK belongs to the MAP kinase superfamily, and it may phosphorylate exogenous substrates or autophosphorylate. The protein may functions in regulation of cillium length and intraflagellar transport in renal epithelial cells. MOK may be a tumour requiring protein (TRP), since it displays extremely low rates of mutation in human cancers. MOK is a renal tumour antigen that is silent in most normal tissues except for retina and a number of tumour cell types.
