PDK2 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
PDK2 encodes a member of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase family. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 phosphorylates pyruvate dehydrogenase, down-regulating the activity of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Overexpression of PDK2 may play a role in both cancer and diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for PDK2.

Research Area: Signal Transduction, Metabolism

Synonyms: PDK2, PDHK2, [Pyruvate dehydrogenase [lipoamide]] kinase isozyme 2, mitochondrial, Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 2

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AMPK alpha around the phosphorylation site of Thr172. AA range:140-189

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

Formulation: Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.

Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Storage:
-20°C for 1 year
