Peptide Name: ROCK1 (229-243) pT233+pT237+pT240

Product Use: This phosphopeptide may be useful as a substrate for screening the phosphatase activity of protein phosphatases. The peptide sequence is located in the protein kinase catalytic domain activation T-loop between subdomains VII and VIII. T233 phosphorylation is predicted to stimulate phosphotransferase activity. Phosphorylation of T237 and T240 are predicted to be inhibitory. These putative phosphosites are located in the kinase activation loop between catalytic subdomains VII and VIII.

Scientific Background: ROCK1 (ROK-beta) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the AGC group and DMPK family. It is a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton and cell polarity. It is activated by binding the small G protein RhoA. D1113A substitution leads to abolished cleavage by caspase-3. Down-regulating ROCK1 may be useful strategy for inhibiting migration and invasion of glioma and gastric cancer.
