General description
NUAK2 (NUAK family, SNF1-like kinase, 2) gene, also known as sucrose nonfermenting (SNF1)-like kinase (SNARK), is localized to human chromosome 1q32. It belongs to the α catalytic subunit of SNF1/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) protein family.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. 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
NUAK2 (NUAK family, SNF1-like kinase, 2) is a member of the SNF1/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) protein family, the main function of which is to maintain cellular metabolism homeostasis. This family is induced by the cellular AMP:ATP ratio, which in turn is dependent on cellular status such as hypoxia and glucose deprivation. The exact function of this protein is unknown, though it is thought to function as both a tumor suppressor and as an oncogene. Studies show that this gene functions as an oncogene in acral melanomagenesis. This gene influences tumor growth and migration in human melanoma, and inactivation of this gene in mice leads to tumor suppression. This gene also influences the clinical outcome in melanoma patients. This protein promotes the formation of actin stress fibers, where it interacts with myosin phosphatase Rho-interacting protein (MRIP), which results in the phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain (MLC).
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:
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.

Actin stress fiber assembly and contractility in nonmuscle motile cells requires phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain (MLC). Dephosphorylation and disassembly are mediated by MLC phosphatase, which is targeted to actin fibers by the association of its regulatory subunit MYPT1

Recent technological advances in cancer genomics make it possible to dissect complicated genomic aberrations of melanomas. In particular, several specific genomic aberrations including 11q13 amplification and KIT aberrations have been identified in acral melanomas. We recently identified NUAK2 at 1q32

The identification of genes that participate in melanomagenesis should suggest strategies for developing therapeutic modalities. We used a public array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) database and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses to identify the AMP kinase (AMPK)-related kinase NUAK2 as
