PEK/PERK Antibody | anti-PEK/PERK antibody

PEK/PERK (Phospho-Thr981) Antibody

Gene Names
EIF2AK3; PEK; WRS; PERK
Reactivity
Human (Identities = 100%, Positives = 100%);
Mouse (Identities = 92%, Positives = 92%);
Rat (Identities = 92%, Positives = 92%)
Applications
Immunohistochemistry, ELISA
Purity
Affinity-purified fromrabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Synonyms

Ordering
For Research Use Only!
Reactivity
Human (Identities = 100%, Positives = 100%);
Mouse (Identities = 92%, Positives = 92%);
Rat (Identities = 92%, Positives = 92%)
Specificity
PEK/PERK (Phospho-Thr981) antibody detects endogenous levels of PEK/PERK only when phosphorylated at threonine 981.
Purity/Purification
Affinity-purified fromrabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Form/Format
In phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.
Sequence Length
1116
Applicable Applications for anti-PEK/PERK antibody
Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA)
Application Notes
IHC: 1:50-1:100
ELISA: 1:40000
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human PEK/PERK around the phosphorylation site of threonine 981 (R-H-TP-G-Q).
All Sites
Human: Thr981
Mouse: Thr980
Rat: Thr974
Preparation and Storage
Store at -20°C for 1 year.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2, leading to its inactivation, and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis. This protein is thought to modulate mitochondrial function. It is a type I membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is induced by ER stress caused by malfolded proteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with Wolcott-Rallison syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

Uniprot Description

Metabolic-stress sensing protein kinase that phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2-alpha/EIF2S1) on 'Ser-52' during the unfolded protein response (UPR) and in response to low amino acid availability. Converts phosphorylated eIF-2-alpha/EIF2S1 either in a global protein synthesis inhibitor, leading to a reduced overall utilization of amino acids, or to a translation initiation activator of specific mRNAs, such as the transcriptional activator ATF4, and hence allowing ATF4-mediated reprogramming of amino acid biosynthetic gene expression to alleviate nutrient depletion. Serves as a critical effector of unfolded protein response (UPR)-induced G1 growth arrest due to the loss of cyclin-D1 (CCND1). Involved in control of mitochondrial morphology and function.

Product Notes

The PEK/PERK eif2ak3 (Catalog #AAA853840) is an Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The PEK/PERK (Phospho-Thr981) Antibody reacts with Human (Identities = 100%, Positives = 100%); Mouse (Identities = 92%, Positives = 92%); Rat (Identities = 92%, Positives = 92%) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PEK/PERK can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA). IHC: 1:50-1:100 ELISA: 1:40000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PEK/PERK eif2ak3 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PEK/PERK, Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
