Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity PGAM5 (Long Isoform) (E8C3L) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total PGAM5 long isoform protein. This antibody specifically recognizes the PGAM5 long isoform (UniProt #Q96HS1-1) and does not recognize the PGAM5 short isoform (UniProt #Q96HS1-2). Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human PGAM5 long isoform protein (UniProt #Q96HS1-1). Background Phosphoglycerate mutase family 5 (PGAM5) is a mitochondrial serine/threonine protein phosphatase (1,2). PGAM5 is required for necrosis induced by TNF-α or reactive oxygen species (2). In addition, PGAM5 dephosphorylates FUNDC1 to induce mitophagy under mitochondrial stresses (3). PGAM5 is also essential for RIPK1-mediated mitophagy activation during extracellular matrix (ECM) detachment of cancer cells (4). Furthermore, PGAM5 is cleaved by the protease presenilin-associated rhomboid-like protein (PARL) in response to mitochondrial stresses (such as induced by carbonyl cyanide -chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) treatment). The cleaved PGAM5, released from the mitochondrial membrane, dephosphorylates β-catenin in the cytosol leading to its stabilization. Increased levels of β-catenin stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis (5).
