This antibody does not cross-react with LIMK1. Species Reactivity: Human, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to carboxy-terminal residues of human LIMK2. Background LIM kinases (LIMK1 and LIMK2) are serine/threonine kinases that have two zinc finger motifs, known as LIM motifs, in their amino-terminal regulatory domains (1). LIM kinases are involved in actin cytoskeletal regulation downstream of Rho-family GTPases, PAKs, and ROCK (2,3). PAK1 and ROCK phosphorylate LIMK1 or LIMK2 at the conserved Thr508 or Thr505 residues in the activation loop, increasing LIMK activity (3-5). Activated LIM kinases inhibit the actin depolymerization activity of cofilin by phosphorylation at the amino-terminal Ser3 residue of cofilin (6,7). Alternate Names LIM domain kinase 2; LIMK-2; LIMK2 Specification REACTIVITY: H Mk SENSITIVITY: Endogenous MW (kDa): 70 Source/Isotype: Rabbit IgG
