Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(MBS9607971 at 1/100 staining Mouse spleen tissue by IHC-P. The sample was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The sample was then blocked and incubated with the antibody for 1.5 hours at 22 degree C. An HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.)

Description: This gene encodes a protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA which mediates the effects of interferon in response to viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dystonia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Function: Activates EIF2AK2/PKR in the absence of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), leading to phosphorylation of EIF2S1/EFI2-alpha and inhibition of translation and induction of apoptosis. Required for siRNA production by DICER1 and for subsequent siRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Does not seem to be required for processing of pre-miRNA to miRNA by DICER1. Promotes UBC9-p53/TP53 association and sumoylation and phosphorylation of p53/TP53 at 'Lys-386' at 'Ser-392' respectively and enhances its activity in a EIF2AK2/PKR-dependent manner (By similarity).
Subunit Structure: Homodimer. Interacts with EIF2AK2/PKR through its DRBM domains. Interacts with DICER1, AGO2 and TARBP2. Also able to interact with dsRNA. Interacts with UBC9 (By similarity). Forms a complex with UBC9 and p53/TP53 (By similarity). Interacts with DUS2L (via DRBM domain).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylated at Ser-246 in unstressed cells and at Ser-287 in stressed cells. Phosphorylation at Ser-246 appears to be a prerequisite for subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-287. Phosphorylation at Ser-246 and Ser-287 are necessary for activation of EIF2AK2/PKR under conditions of stress.
Similarity: Self-association may occur via interactions between DRBM domains as follows: DRBM 1/DRBM 1, DRBM 1/DRBM 2, DRBM 2/DRBM 2 or DRBM 3/DRBM3. Belongs to the PRKRA family.

Product Notes
The PRKRA prkra (Catalog #AAA9607971) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The PRKRA Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PRKRA can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:500-1:2000 IHC: 1:50-1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PRKRA prkra 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 "PRKRA, Polyclonal 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.Precautions
