PINK1 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least two isoforms are known to exist, this antibody will only detect the longer isoform. PINK1 antibody will detect the cleaved and uncleaved form of PINK1.
Purification
PINK1 antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
PINK1 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human PINK1.
The immunogen is located within amino acids 120 - 170 of PINK1.
PINK1 antibody can be used for detection of PINK1 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.

The PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that localizes to mitochondria and is thought to protect cells from stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction (reviewed in 1). PINK1 recruits the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin to mitochondria to initiate mitophagy, an autophagic process that clears damaged mitochondria within a cell (2). PINK1 is cleaved by the mitochondrial protease PARL (3). Mutations in this gene cause one form of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease (4).
