Rock-2 (phospho-Y256) antibody

• Catalog Number: orb345586
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Rock-2 (phospho-Y256) antibody
• Species/Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Tested applications: ELISA, IHC, WB
• Reactivity: Human
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Y256 of human ROCK-2.
• Concentration: 1.0 mg/mL
• Dilution range: ELISA: 1:2,000 - 1:20,000, IHC: User Optimized, WB: 1:200 - 1:2,000
• Form/Appearance: Liquid (sterile filtered)
• Purity: This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using phospho-peptide coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption against nonphospho-peptide. This antibody is specific for human ROCK-2 protein phosphorylated at Y256. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with ROCK-2 from human, mouse, rat, chicken, dog, bovine, Xenopus and Drosophila based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with ROCK-2 from other sources has not been determined.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• UniProt ID: O75116
• NCBI: 4520225
• Storage: Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.
• Buffer/Preservatives: 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide
• Alternative names: rabbit anti-ROCK2 antibody, Rho-associated protein
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 164 kDa in size corresponding to phosphorylated ROCK-2 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. This phospho-specific polyclonal antibody reacts with human ROCK-2 pY256 and shows minimal reactivity by ELISA against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide.
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.

Western blot using Biorbyt's affinity purified anti-ROCK-2 pY256 antibody shows detection of phosphorylated ROCK-2 in transfected 293T cells. Lane 1 shows lysate expressing exogenous ROCK-2 where the insert contains the transversion Y256A. Lane 2 shows the lysate expressing WT ROCK-2. A lysate containing a GST null vector also shows no specific staining (data not shown). Primary antibody was used at a 1:1000 dilution.
