Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects protein kinase C epsilon type (gene PRKCE) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 83.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 94 kDa.
PKCε (PRKCE) is a calcium-independent, diacylglycerol-activated novel protein kinase C. It phosphorylates cytoskeletal and adhesion-related proteins to control cell adhesion, migration and cytokinesis, and it also functions in neurons and the heart, making it a frequent subject of cardioprotection, pain and cancer invasion studies.

Immunogen
Recombinant human PRKCE fragment (Met1–Lys690), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places protein kinase C epsilon type in the cytoplasm, cell membrane and nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in cumulus cells (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
