Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human BRSK1. AA range:361-410
Specificity
BRSK1 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of BRSK1 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/5000. 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
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-205 by STK11 in complex with STE20-related adapter-alpha (STRAD alpha) pseudo kinase and CAB39.,function:Required for the polarization of forebrain neurons which endows axons and dendrites with distinct properties, possibly by locally regulating phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins (By similarity). May be involved in the regulation of G2/M arrest in response to UV- or methyl methane sulfonate (MMS)-induced, but not IR-induced, DNA damage. Phosphorylates WEE1 and CDC25B in vitro and CDC25C in vitro and in vivo.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. AMPK subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,similarity:Contains 1 UBA domain.,subcellular location:Nuclear in the absence of DNA damage. Translocated to the nucleus in response to UV- or MMS-induced DNA damage.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed, with highest levels in brain and testis. Protein levels remain constant throughout the cell cycle.,
