FOR BULK ORDER REQUESTS PLEASE CONTACT US

Description :Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Species :

Tag :

Expression System:

Sequence :

Specificity :Recognizes the DRAK2 (STK17B) protein and has no cross responses to DAP or ZIP kinases.

Cited Applications :WB, ELISA, ICC

Cross Reactivity :Human

Host / Isotype / Clone# :Rabbit, IgG

Immunogen :DRAK2 (STK17B) antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 351 to 365 of human DRAK2 (STK17B)

Purification :Affinity chromatography

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 analysis of DRAK2 (STK17B) in Jurkat (1,3) and Raji (2,4) cell lysate in the absence (1,2) or presence (3,4) of blocking peptide with DRAK2 (STK17B) antibody at 1:500 dilution.

Sample Data :Immunocytochemistry of DRAK2 (STK17B) in Jurkat cells with DRAK2 (STK17B) antibody at 10 ug/ml.

Scientific Background :DRAK2 is a member of the serine/threonine kinase family and is related to death-associated protein kinase that triggers apoptosis (1). DRAK2 is selectively important for T-cell survival and inhibition of DRAK2 has therapeutic potential for autoimmune disease (2). T-cell survival depends on a balance of T-cell receptor and co-stimulatory signals and deficiency of DRAK2 can affect autoimmune disease susceptibility without generalized suppression of the immune system (3).
