General description

Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase 1 or ROCK-1 is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates actin assembly, cell movement and contraction. This kinase activates the JNK signaling pathway, modulates stress granule formation and regulates apoptosis in cardiac myocytes and stress granules .

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1336-1354 located at the C-terminus of human ROCK-1, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is identical in mouse and rat ROCK-1.

Application

Anti-ROCK-1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rho-associated kinases (ROCK or Rho-kinase) is implicated in Rho-mediated actin reorganization such as formation of stress fibres and focal adhesions and smooth muscle contraction. Rho-kinases lead to an increase of myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation and thereby induce actomyosin based contractility. ROCK accumulates at the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis. In addition, a dominant negative form of ROCK increases multinuclei in mammalian cells. ROCK directly phosphorylates and activates LIM-kinase (LIMK), resulting in downstream phosphorylation and inaction of the actin depolymerizing factor or cofilin.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
