Product Overview
p-PKAα/β cat (T197) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of PKAα/βcat protein when phosphorylated at Thr197.
PRKACA and PRKACB are members of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and are a catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. cAMP is a signaling molecule important for a variety of cellular functions. cAMP exerts its effects by activating the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which transduces the signal through phosphorylation of different target proteins. The inactive kinase holoenzyme is a tetramer composed of two regulatory and two catalytic subunits.

Please refer to the storage conditions on the product label and datasheet. As a general best practice: upon receipt, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycling, which can progressively reduce antibody performance and lead to aggregation.
Validated reactivity covers Human, Mouse, Rat samples. Performance can vary across different cell lines and tissue types depending on target antigen expression levels and epitope accessibility. We recommend verifying target expression in your specific model system using a known positive control before proceeding to experimental samples.
