General description

Brain selective kinase 2 (BRSK2) (SAD-A) protein is a member of the family Ser/Thr 5′ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) related kinases. This protein is specifically located in the spinal cord and brain of embryonic and postnatal animals. The BRSK2 gene is located on the human chromosome at 11p15.5.

Specificity

Anti-BRSK2 (N-terminal) specifically recognizes mouse BRSK2.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence near the N-terminus of human BRSK2, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse BRSK2.

Application

Anti-BRSK2 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brain selective kinase 2 (BRSK2) protein is phosphorylated by liver kinase B1 (LKB1) at Thr-174 thereby increasing its kinase activity. This protein is also phosphorylated at Thr-260 by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) which is another upstream kinase. Brain selective kinase1/2 (BRSK1/2) phosphorylates downstream effectors like the cell cycle checkpoint kinase Wee1 and microtubule-associated protein tau. Phosphorylation of Wee1 by BRSK1/2 is essential for the regulation of its activity in polarized neurons and is an important step for the differentiation of polarized neurons.

Physical form

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

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Storage in “frost-free” freezers is also not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs uponprolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
