PIP5K (Q95) polyclonal antibody

Q9Y2I7

Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate-5-kinase (PIPK) synthesizes phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate, which regulates various processes including cell proliferation, survival, membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal organization. The PIPK family is divided into type I, type II and type III. Each type of the PIPK family phosphorylates distinct substrates. They contain an activation loop, which determines their enzymatic specificity and subcellular targeting. The phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate-5-kinase type I consists of three members, PIPK I alpha, beta and gamma, which are characterized by phosphorylating PI4P on the 5-hydroxyl. PIPK I alpha, designated PIPK I beta in mouse, is expressed in brain tissue. PIPK I beta, designated PIPK I alpha in mouse, is also called STM7. PIPK I gamma has two variants produced by alternative splicing which are expressed in lung, brain and kidneys.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

PIP5K (Q95) pAb detects endogenous levels of PIP5K protein.
