Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human AKAP2, identical to the related mouse and rat sequences.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 150-170 kDa; calculated MW: 94661 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
A-kinase anchor protein 2; A-kinase anchor protein 2. A-kinase anchor protein 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AKAP2 gene. It is mapped to 9q31.3. The protein encoded by this gene binds to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A and is found associated with the actin cytoskeleton. The encoded protein mediates signals carried by cAMP and may be involved in creating polarity in certain signaling processes. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Functional note: Binds to regulatory subunit (RII) of protein kinase A. May be involved in establishing polarity in signaling systems or in integrating PKA-RII isoforms with downstream effectors to capture, amplify and focus diffuse, trans-cellular signals carried by cAMP (By similarity). . Reported localization: Secreted . Expression/tissue context: Expressed in fetal skin, spleen and tonsil. Expressed mostly in the basal epithelia of skin and in proliferating B-cells of the tonsil.
