LIMK2 Antibody

• Gene Name:

  LIM domain kinase 2

• Gene Aliases:

  LIMK2, LIM domain kinase 2, LIMK-2

• Gene ID:

  3985; 16886; 29524

• Reactivity:

  Human, Mouse, Rat

• Immunogen:

  Synthesized peptide derived from human LIMK-2 around the non-phosphorylation site of S283. Location: 220-300aa.

• Target:

  There are approximately 40 known eukaryotic LIM proteins, so named for the LIM domains they contain. LIM domains are highly conserved cysteine-rich structures containing 2 zinc fingers. Although zinc fingers usually function by binding to DNA or RNA, the LIM motif probably mediates protein-protein interactions. LIM kinase-1 and LIM kinase-2 belong to a small subfamily with a unique combination of 2 N-terminal LIM motifs and a C-terminal protein kinase domain. The protein encoded by this gene is phosphorylated and activated by ROCK, a downstream effector of Rho, and the encoded protein, in turn, phosphorylates cofilin, inhibiting its actin-depolymerizing activity. It is thought that this pathway contributes to Rho-induced reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. At least three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
