Comments:

Background: TESK2 is a dual specificity protein kinase activity catalyzing autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of exogenous substrates on both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. TESK2 phosphorylates cofilin at Ser-3. It may play an important role in spermatogenesis. This nuclear enzyme is thought to be activated by autophosphorylation on Ser-219. Expression is predominantly in testis and prostate, with highest concentrations in nongerminal Sertoli cells.

Application Details

Application Notes: The suggested dilution is: ELISA~~1:1,000 Western blotting~~1:100~500 Immunohistochemistry~~1:50~100

Concentration: 0.25 mg/ml

Purification: Purified

Buffer: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein G column, eluted with high and low pH buffers and neutralized immediately, followed by dialysis against PBS.

Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 deg C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 deg C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles

Research Area: Apoptosis/Necrosis, Phospho-specific antibodies, Cell Signaling, Protein Modifications, Cell Structure

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Western blot analysis of anti-TESK2 Pab (ABIN392277) in mouse cerebellum tissue lysate (Lane 1) and A375 cell lysate (Lane 2). TESK2 (arrow) was detected using purified Pab. Secondary HRP-anti-rabbit was used for signal visualization with chemiluminescence.

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by AEC staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry. clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma. HC = hepatocarcinoma.
