CST, 71001S, Cleaved ROCK1 (Gly1114) Antibody

Polyclonal Antibody for studying ROCK1 (Gly1114) cleaved. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunoprecipitation. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Cleaved ROCK1 (Gly1114) Antibody (CST #71001) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 Immunoprecipitation: 1:50 Storage Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity Cleaved ROCK1 (Gly1114) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of ROCK1 protein only when cleaved at Gly1114. This antibody detects the carboxy-terminal cleavage product. In HeLa cells, this antibody cross-reacts with a 60 kDa band of unknown origin by western blot. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly1114 of human ROCK1 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography. Background ROCK (Rho-associated kinase), a family of serine/threonine kinases, is an important downstream target of Rho-GTPase and plays an important role in Rho-mediated signaling. Two isoforms of ROCK have been identified: ROCK1 and ROCK2. ROCK is composed of N-terminal catalytic, coiled-coil, and C-terminal PH (pleckstrin homology) domains. The C-terminus of ROCK negatively regulates its kinase activity (1,2). ROCK1 is cleaved by caspase-3 at a conserved DETD1113/G sequence resulting in loss of its C-terminal inhibitory domain (3). ROCK2 is directly cleaved by granzyme B (grB). Cleavage activates ROCK and leads to phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) and inhibition of myosin phosphatase (4). This phosphorylation may account for the mechanism by which Rho regulates cytokinesis, cell motility, cell membrane blebbing during apoptosis, and smooth muscle contraction (5-7).
