Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human MST3 (STK24) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04ABJ95

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: KRN(pT)FVG(bA)C

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues K187 to G193; In protein kinase catalytic domain activation T-loop between subdomains VII and VIII.

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.This antibody was also subject to negative purification over phosphotyrosine-agarose.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: MST3 (STK24) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the STE group of protein kinases in the STE20 family, and YSK subfamily. This kinase is highly expressed and widely distributed in most tested human tissues. MST3 promotes apoptosis in response to stress stimuli and caspase activation. It indirectly activates JNK1-JNK2 (MAPK8 and MAPK9), p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and MAPK14 ) to mediates oxidative-stress-induced apoptosis. MST3 contains a conserved kinase domain at its N-terminus and a regulatory domain at its C-terminus. Caspase-mediated cleavage of the regulatory domain of MST3 activates its intrinsic kinase activity and leads to its nuclear translocation. Expression of C-terminal truncated MST3 in cells results in DNA fragmentation and induction of apoptosis. MST3 can inhibit cell migration in a fashion dependent on autophosphorylation and can regulate paxillin phosphorylation through protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST. It has been implicated a key regulator of axon regeneration in the optic nerve and radial nerve.
