General description

Protein interacting with C kinase 1 (PICK1) is a post-synaptic density-95/discs large/zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) and Bin/Ampiphysin/Rvs (BAR)-domain containing protein. PICK1 is expressed at high levels in the brain, testis and is located at the perinuclear region as well as synapses of neurons. The PICK1 gene is located on the human chromosome 22q13.1.

Specificity

Anti-PICK1(C-terminal) specifically recognizes human,rat and mouse PICK1.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of rat PICK1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is highly conserved in mouse PICK1 (single amino acid substitution) and in human PICK1 (83% sequence identity).

Application

Anti-PICK1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein interacting with C kinase 1 (PICK1) plays a central role in a specific form of vesicular trafficking, modulation of presynaptic glutamate neurotransmission by targeting and anchoring glutamate receptors to specific synapses and synaptic plasticity. PICK1 is phosphorylated in response to protein kinase C α (PKCα) activation. The PICK1 binds to a large number of membrane proteins, including the glutamate receptors subunits α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR), metabotropic glutamate receptor 7a (mGLUR7a) and the ephrin receptors to regulate their subcellular localization via the post-synaptic density-95/discs large/zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) domain. The Bin/Ampiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain binds to lipids, mainly phosphoinositides, which are important for PICK1 regulation, synaptic targeting and trafficking of AMAP receptors. Mutations in the PICK1 PDZ domain inhibit the binding of PICK1 to PKCα.

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, or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

Accumulating evidence from both genetic and clinico-pharmacological studies suggests that D-serine, an endogenous coagonist to the NMDA subtype glutamate receptor, may be implicated in schizophrenia (SZ). Although an association of genes for D-serine degradation, such as D-amino acid oxidase and

Aggregation of neurotransmitter receptors at pre- and postsynaptic structures is crucial for efficient neuronal communication. In contrast to the wealth of information about postsynaptic specializations, little is known about the molecular organization of presynaptic membrane proteins. We show here that

AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid) receptor trafficking is a fundamental mechanism for regulating synaptic strength, and hence may underlie cellular processes involved in learning and memory. PICK1 (protein interacting with C-kinase) is a PDZ and BAR domain-containing protein that has recently emerged

The targeting and surface expression of membrane proteins are critical to their functions. In neurons, synaptic targeting and surface expression of AMPA-type glutamate receptors were found to be critical for synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation and long-term depression (LTD).
