BD, 610720, Purified Mouse Anti-AKAP149 6/AKAP149

The targeting of protein kinases and phosphatases to cellular compartments in a timely manner may provide specificity in signal transduction events. For instance, attachment of type II cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase (PKA) to the cytoskeleton occurs through the binding of the regulatory subunit (RII) to microtubule associated-protein 2. Several proteins, such as microtubule-associated protein 2, have been identified as PKA type I/II anchoring proteins and form a family named AKAP (A-Kinase Anchor Proteins). AKAP149 is a protein of 903 amino acids. It has a PKA [RII] binding site at amino acids 355-376 preceded by a leucine zipper domain. AKAP149 mRNA has been reported to be expressed ubiquitously, with the highest levels in prostate and small intestine. AKAP149 contains a KH domain characteristic of RNA-binding proteins. Thus, AKAP149 is a PKA [RII] anchoring protein that may target this kinase to sites of RNA processing for regulation of RNA binding protein activity.

Store undiluted at -20°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
