Anti-TTBK2 antibody produced in rabbit

General description

Tau-tubulin kinase 2 (TTBK2) is a serine/threonine kinase expressed in various tissues and it belongs to the casein kinase 1 family. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 15q15.2.

Immunogen

Tau-tubulin kinase 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-TTBK2 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. Anti-TTBK2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for immunoprecipitation.

These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tau-tubulin kinase 2 (TTBK2) forms a complex with centrosomal protein 164kDa (Cep164) of the distal appendages. It also stimulates processes involved in ciliogenesis and recruitment of intraflagellar transport proteins. It has been shown that TTBK2 works upstream of the Cep164 gene and functions in the assemblage of distal appendages. The kinase also regulates the glucose carrier sodium-glucose linked transporter 1 (SGLT1) and increases the number of SGLT1 proteins in the cell membrane. Mutations in the gene encoding it is linked to spinocerebellar ataxia type 11.

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
