Target
-
FunctionDisplays serine/threonine-specific phosphorylation of myelin basic protein and histone (MBP) in vitro.
-
Tissue specificityHighest expression in the placenta; moderate level in liver, lung, kidney, and pancreas. LIMK2a is found to be more abundant then LIMK2b in liver, colon, stomach, and spleen, while in brain, kidney, and placenta LIMK2b is the dominant form. In adult lung, both LIMK2a and LIMK2b is nearly equally observed.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
Contains 2 LIM zinc-binding domains.
Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated on serine and/or threonine residues by ROCK1. -
Cellular localizationCytoplasm. Nucleus. Isoform LIMK2a is distributed in the cytoplasm and the nucleus and Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Isoform LIMK2b occurs mainly in the cytoplasm and is scarcely translocated to the nucleus.

Western blot - Anti-LIM kinase 2 antibody [EP969Y] (ab45165)
Predicted band size : 72 kDaLane 1: Wild type HAP1 whole cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 2: LIMK2 (LIM kinase 2) knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (40 µg)
Lane 3: Jurkat whole cell lysate (40 µg)Lanes 1 - 3: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab45165 observed at 72 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.
ab45165 was shown to recognize LIMK2 (LIM kinase 2) in wild type cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in LIMK2 (LIM kinase 2) knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and LIMK2 (LIM kinase 2) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab45165 and ab9484 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 2000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
