Invitrogen™ Phospho-LIMK1/LIMK2 (Thr508, Thr505) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA5143715

Catalog No. PIPA5143715

Description

The antibody detects a 72 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of LIMK1 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of activated mouse recombinant LIMK1, but does not detect this protein after lambda phosphatase treatment.

Proteins containing LIM motifs are typically involved in cell fate determination and growth control. A family of proteins designated LIM kinases, including LIMK-1 and LIMK-2, has been identified. LIMK-1 has been shown to regulate the stabilization of F-Actin structures and cofilin activity, indicating that LIMK-1 plays a role in a signaling pathway involved in the regulation of cell motility and morphogenesis. LIMK-1 inhibits neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells, and is thought to act by interfering with events downstream of MAPK activation. Expression patterns of LIMK-1 and LIMK-2 suggest that these proteins may have different functions during development. A truncated form of LIMK-2 has been identified in adult testis that is thought to arise from an alternative initiation exon.
