Expression System:
Sequence :
Specificity :Recognizes the CDK5 protein
Cited Applications :WB, IHC
Cross Reactivity :Human, Mouse and Rat
Host :Mouse, IgG1, 1H3
Immunogen :Purified rat Cdk5
Purification :Protein G purified culture supernatant
Stability :Store at 4oC (add 0.1% NaN3) for several months, and at -20oC for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Sample Data :Western blot of rat caudate lysate showing specific immunolabeling of the ~ 28kDa CDK5 protein.
Scientific Background :The neuronal protein kinase, CDK5 is implicated in a vast array of normal neuronal functions including regulation of neurotransmitter synthesis (1), the presynaptic vesicle cycle (2), neurotransmitter receptor trafficking, and dopamine neurotransmission (3). CDK5 is active as a heterodimer with a 25 kDa protein. The 25 kDa protein is derived proteolytically from a 35 kDa brain and neuron-specific precursor protein (4). CDK5 phosphorylates a diverse list of substrates and has been implicated in a wide range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, which include Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and drug addiction (5).
