Quick Overview for LIMK2 antibody (pThr505) (ABIN196832)

Target: LIMK2 (LIM Domain Kinase 2 (LIMK2))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This LIMK2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Product Details anti-LIMK2 Antibody

Binding Specificity: pThr505

Specificity: This antibody detects endogenous levels of LIMK2 only when phosphorylated at Threonine 505.

Purification: Affinity Chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human LIMK2 around the phosphorylation site of threonine 505 (R-Y-TP-V-V).

Target Details for LIMK2

Target: LIMK2 (LIM Domain Kinase 2 (LIMK2))

Alternative Name: LIMK2

Background: LIM kinases (LIM kinase 1 and LIM kinase 2) are serine/threonine kinases that have two zinc finger motifs, known as LIM motifs in their N terminal regulatory domain. LIM kinases are involved in actin cytoskeleton regulation through Rho family GTPases and downstream kinases PAKs and ROCK. PAK1 and ROCK phosphorylate LIM kinase 1 and LIM kinase 2, which increases the activity of the kinases. Activated LIM kinases inhibit the actin depolymerization activity of cofilin by phosphorylation at the N terminus of Cofilin.Synonyms: EC=2.7.11.1, LIM domain kinase 2, LIMK-2, LIMK2
