DRAK2 Antibody
Catalog Number: 24074
Technical:tech@swbio.com
Information:info@swbio.com
Description
- Swiss-Prot No.:
- Swiss-Prot:O94768
Gene ID:9262
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
- Storage:
- Can be stored at -20˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
- Immunogen:
- Raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 351 to 365 of human DRAK2.
- Purification:
- Ion exchange chromatography purified
- Specificity:
- It has no cross responses to DAP or ZIP kinases. The approximately 70 kDa band is probably non-related to DRAK2 although it is peptide blockable.
- Applications:
- ELISA WB ICC
- Background:
- Apoptosis is mediated by death domain containing adapter molecules and a caspase family of proteases. Certain serine/threonine protein kinases, such as ASK-1 and RIP, are mediators of apoptosis. Two novel serine/threonine kinases that induce apoptosis were recently identified and designated DRAK1 and DRAK2 (for DAP kinase-related apoptosis-inducing protein kinases). DRAKs contain an N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal regulation domain. Overexpression of DRAK2 induces apoptosis. DRAKs have high sequence homology to DAP and ZIP kinases, and they represent a novel family of serine/threonine kinases, which mediates apoptosis through their catalytic activities. DRAK2 is located in nucleus and the messenger RNA was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.
