Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects rho-associated protein kinase 1 (gene ROCK1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 158.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 158 kDa.
ROCK1 (Rho-associated protein kinase 1) is a serine/threonine kinase activated by GTP-bound RhoA. It phosphorylates targets such as myosin light chain, the myosin phosphatase subunit MYPT1 and LIM kinases to drive actomyosin contraction, stress fiber formation and cell migration, and ROCK inhibitors such as Y-27632 are standard research tools.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, human Jurkat cells, human A549-WT cells, human A549-ROCK1 KO cells, rat brain tissue, rat C6 cells, mouse brain tissue, mouse NIH/3T3 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 8% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 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 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human breast cancer tissue, mouse brain tissue, rat brain tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): SiHa cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human ROCK1 fragment (Lys601–Asn1319), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places rho-associated protein kinase 1 in the cytoplasm, Golgi apparatus membrane, cell projection and cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Detected in blood platelets. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
