Phospho-PRK1 (Thr774)/ PRK2 (Thr816) Antibody detects endogenous levels of PRK1 and PRK2 only when phosphorylated at Thr774 or Thr816, respectively. This antibody also detects PKC zeta and lambda when phosphorylated at Thr 410 and 403, respectively.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr774 of human PRK1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
The protein kinase C-related kinases (PRKs) are a subfamily of Ser/Thr-specific kinases with a catalytic domain highly homologous to the PKC family (1-3). They are effectors of Rho family GTPases (4-6) and are activated by fatty acids and phospholipids in vitro (7,8). Activation in vitro and in vivo involves the activation loop phosphorylation of PRK1 (Thr774)/PRK2 (Thr816) by PDK1 (9,10).
