Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes serine/threonine-protein kinase MAK in human samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 70.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 70 kDa.
MAK (male germ cell-associated kinase) is a serine/threonine kinase related to the MAPK and CDK families. In retinal photoreceptors it regulates the length of the connecting cilium and is needed for long-term photoreceptor survival, and mutations cause retinitis pigmentosa; it is also expressed in the testis and has been reported to coactivate the androgen receptor.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, human MCF-7 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human MAK. It differs from the mouse and rat sequences at two residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places serine/threonine-protein kinase MAK in the nucleus, cytoplasm, midbody and photoreceptor inner segment. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in prostate cancer cell lines at generally higher levels than in normal prostate epithelial cell lines. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
