Product Description
PRAK rabbit pAb is an ELK Biotechnology antibody for research workflows involving MAPKAPK5.
Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a tumor suppressor and member of the serine/threonine kinase family. In response to cellular stress and proinflammatory cytokines, this kinase is activated through its phosphorylation by MAP kinases including MAPK1/ERK, MAPK14/p38-alpha, and MAPK11/p38-beta. The encoded protein is found in the nucleus but translocates to the cytoplasm upon phosphorylation and activation. This kinase phosphorylates heat shock protein HSP27 at its physiologically relevant sites. Two alternately spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Key Facts
| Target | MAPKAPK5 |
| Also known as | MAPKAPK5; PRAK; MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 5; MAPK-activated protein kinase 5; MAPKAP kinase 5; MAPKAP-K5; MAPKAPK-5; MK-5; MK5; p38-regulated/activated protein kinase; PRAK |
| Concentration | 1 mg/ml |
| Working concentration | WB 1:500-2000;IHC-p 1:50-300 |
| Species reactivity | Human;Mouse |
| Observed band | 60kD |
| Cellular localization | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Translocates to the cytoplasm following phosphorylation and activation. Interaction with ERK3/MAPK6 or ERK4/MAPK4 and phosphorylation at Thr-182, activates the protein kinase activity, followed by translocation to the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation by PKA/PRKACA at Ser-115 also induces nuclear export. |
| Purity | The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. |
| Form / buffer | Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide. |
