Additional Information

Alternative name: Phospho-Ser378 Parkin

Format: Affinity-purified

Description: Parkin is an E3 ligase in the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Hereditary Parkinson’s disease is most commonly caused by mutations in the parkin gene and is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and the presence of Lewy bodies in the substania nigra (Jenner et al.,1992). Recent evidence suggests that phosphorylation of parkin at Ser378 may have an important regulatory role on its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity (Yamamoto et al., 2005). Anti-Phospho-Ser378 Parkin Western blot of HEK293 cells transfected with Parkin WT (Phospho) and Parkin S378 mutant (non-phospho) showing the phospho-specific immunolabeling of the ~ 52 k parkin protein. The immunolabeling is absent in the parkin S378 mutant.

Specificity: Specific for the ~52k parkin protein phosphorylated at Ser378. Immunolabeling of the parkin band is absent in parkin S378 mutants.

Application Details

Application Notes: Recommended Dilution: WB: 1:1000 Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot.

Purification: Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns.

Storage: Store at -20 °C, stable for 1 year

Restrictions: For Research Use only
