Antigen Preparation
"A synthetic peptide corresponding to the epitope -VETFP- with a single phosphorylation site Thr396 of human RockII protein. This sequence is identical among human, mouse, rat, chicken, dog and bovine."
Background
"Rho A-dependent kinase (ROCKII), or ROK-alpha, is identified a serine/threonine kinase, a downstream effector of the small GTPase Rho, mediating effects of Rho on the actin cytoskeleton, formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, ROCKII alters cardiac myofilament response to Ca2+ by mechanisms involving phosphorylation of thin filament proteins. ROCK-II induces a depression in maximum ATPase rate and tension, which is associated with phosphorylation of troponin T (TnT), troponin I (TnI), and myosin-binding protein C (C-protein). The phosphorylation of Rho-kinase at Thr 249, Thr 396 plays important role in G-protein signaling.."
PURIFICATION
The Rabbit IgG is purified by site-modified Epitope Affinity Purification.
|
SPECIFICITY
This antibody recognizes ~165 kDa of human ROCKII at a phosphorylation site ofThr396. It does not react to non-phosphorylated protein. This antibody also reacts with mouse and rat. The other species are not tested.
|
FORMULATION
This affinity purified antibody is supplied in sterile Tris-buffered saline (pH7.2) containing antibody stabilizer
|
STORAGE
The antibodies are stable for 24 months from date of receipt when stored at –20oC to –70oC. The antibodies can be stored at 2oC-8oC for three month without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freezing-thawing cycles.
