Anti-LRRK2 (C-terminal region) antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Leucine-rich repeat protein kinase 2 (LRRK2) comprises multiple domains, including a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, a Roc (Ras of complex proteins) GTPase domain followed by a C-terminal of ROC (COR) domain, a Ser/Thr kinase domain and a C-terminal Trp-Asp-40 (WD40) domain. The N-terminal region (?900 amino acids) contains ankyrin (ANK) repeats. The LRRK2 homologue LRRK1 shares domain structure similarity with LRRK2.
• Specificity: Anti-LRRK2 (C-terminal region) antibody is specific for LRRK2 (approx. 240 kDa) in mice, rats and humans.
• Application: Anti-LRRK2 (C-terminal region) antibody is suitable for use in western blot (2-4 μg/mL using HEK-293T cells expressing human LRRK2, and using S2 fractions of rat and mouse brain extracts).
• Biochem/physiol Actions: LRRK2 is a μLtimeric kinase that also functions as a GTPase. LRRK2 activates a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK)-β/AMPK signaling pathway and subsequently mediates autophagy. Genetic alterations in LRRK2 cause late-onset Parkinson′s disease . Anti-LRRK2 (C-terminal region) antibody is specific for LRRK2 (approx. 240 kDa) in mice, rats and humans. Staining of the LRRK2 band by immunoblotting is specifically inhibited by the LRRK2 immunizing peptide.
• Physical form: Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
