Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AKAP2. AA range:71-120
Specificity
AKAP 2 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of AKAP 2 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
The protein encoded by this gene binds to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A and is found associated with the actin cytoskeleton. The encoded protein mediates signals carried by cAMP and may be involved in creating polarity in certain signaling processes. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011],
Function
caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-3 is the initiator.,function:Binds to regulatory subunit (RII) of protein kinase A. May be involved in establishing polarity in signaling systems or in integrating PKA-RII isoforms with downstream effectors to capture, amplify and focus diffuse, trans-cellular signals carried by cAMP.,miscellaneous:Can be differentially expressed as a natural AKAP2-PALM2 chimeric protein.,similarity:Belongs to the paralemmin family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in infantile heart and muscle, and fibroblasts.,
