General description

ROCK2 is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates actin cytoskeletal framework. Absence of ROCK2 alleviates atherosclerosis, whereas its overexpression has been associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. Genetic mutations in ROCK2 has been linked to the risk of Behcet′s disease . Anti-ROCK-2 recognizes human and mouse ROCK-2 (160 kDa).

Immunogen

The sequence is highly conserved in Xenopus ROCK-2.
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1371-1388 located at the C-terminus of human ROCK-2, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is identical in rat, mouse and bovine ROCK-2.

Application

The antibody is suitable for use in immunoprecipitation (25-50 μg using Jurkat cell lysate), microarray and western blot (2-4 μg/mL using whole cell extract of human acute T cell leukemia Jurkat cell line and of mouse fibroblasts NIH3T3 cell line). The antibody may also be used for immunofluorescence (3-6 μg/ml using NIH3T3 cell line).

Physical form

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

Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK)2 targeting down-regulates autoimmune responses in animal models and patients, however the underlying molecular mechanism is still an enigma. We report that ROCK2 binds phosphorylated-STAT3 and its kinase activity controls the formation of ROCK2/STAT3/JAK2 complex and optimal
