General description
PRKAG2 (protein kinase, AMP-activated, γ2 non-catalytic subunit) is a non-catalytic regulatory subunit of heterotrimeric AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), involved in the energy metabolism. It is predominantly present in all subcellular fractions, including the nuclei.
Immunogen
5′-AMP-activated protein kinase subunit γ-2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-PRKAG2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
PRKAG2 (protein kinase, AMP-activated, γ2 non-catalytic subunit) acts as a sensor of cellular energy status that is controlled by AMP (positively) and ATP (negatively). In normal state CBS domains from AMP-activated protein kinase can bind AMP, ATP, or S-adenosyl methionine. But in mutated condition, it cannot bind. As a result, it leads to hereditary diseases. Its major activity is involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis. It plays an important role in correcting of cell division and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Mutation in PRKAG2 causes Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant inheritance disease.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST86734.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
