Overview:

DAPK2 or death-associated protein kinase 2 belongs to a family of proapoptotic Ca(2+)/calmodulin-regulated serine/threonine kinases. Overexpression of DAPK2 induces cell apoptosis. DAPK2 has been shown to be a novel Sp1-dependent target gene for E2F1 and Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) in cell death response (1). Both E2F1 and KLF6 strongly activate the DAPK2 promoter. DAPK2 plays a role in granulopoiesis where it is highly expressed. β-catenin can block anoikis of malignant kidney and intestinal epithelial cells and promote their anchorage-independent growth by down-regulating DAPK2 (2). β-catenin-induced down-regulation of DAPK2 requires the presence of the transcription factor TCF-4.

Specificity:

Recognizes the DAPK2 protein and has no cross response with DAPK1

Cross Reactivity:

Human, Mouse and Rat

Host / Isotype / Clone#:

Rabbit, IgG

Immunogen:

DAPK2 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human DAPK2. This antigenic peptide is identical to the corresponding amino acids of mouse origin.

Purification:

Affinity chromatography

Stability:

Store at 4^oC (add 0.1% NaN₃) for several months, and at -20^oC for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.

Sample Data:

Western blot analysis of DAPK2 in A431 (H), mouse spleen (M), and rat kidney (R) lysates with DAPK2 antibody at 1 ug/ml.
