Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects serine/threonine-protein kinase VRK2 in human samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 58.1 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 50 kDa.
VRK2 is a serine/threonine kinase of the vaccinia-related kinase family, anchored to the ER and mitochondrial membranes. It modulates stress signaling, for example by dampening JNK activation through the scaffold JIP1, and has been linked to apoptosis regulation. It is studied in signaling and neuropsychiatric genetics.
