EIF2AK2 antibody (pThr446)

Catalog No. ABIN199580

Product Details anti-EIF2AK2 Antibody

Target: EIF2AK2 (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2-alpha Kinase 2 (EIF2AK2))

Binding Specificity: pThr446

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This EIF2AK2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB)

Specificity: Recognizes human PKR phosphorylated at Thr446, Mr 68kD. A non-specific protein was also detected, Mr ~75kD, which is inhibited by the immunizing peptide.

Purification: Protein A purified

Immunogen: Peptide corresponding to amino acids surrounding Thr446 of human PKR.

Type of Immunogen: Synthetic peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Approved: WB (0.5 - 2 μg/mL)

Usage: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Western Blot: 0.5-2.0 μg/mL detects phospho-PKR in RIPA lysates from HeLa cells that had. been stimulated with IFN alpha overnight followed by treatment with calyculin A for 15 minutes. Beadlyte Peptide Specificity Assay: 1:1000-1:5000 dilutions were incubated with a cocktail of. microspheres conjugated to either the phosphorylated or non phosphorylated peptides. Treated HeLa (lane 1) or untreated HeLa (lane2) cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-phospho-PKR (0.5 μg/mL). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. Arrow indicates phospho-PKR (68kD).
