False colour image of Western blot : Anti-PAK2 antibody [EP796Y] staining at 1/5000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab76293 was shown to bind specifically to PAK2. A band was observed at 65 kDa in wild-type HEK-293T cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in PAK2 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab282648 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab283047). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 65 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of PAK2. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and PAK2 CRISPR-Cas9 edited HEK-293T cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution. This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab76293).

Target data

Serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a role in a variety of different signaling pathways including cytoskeleton regulation, cell motility, cell cycle progression, apoptosis or proliferation (PubMed : 12853446, PubMed : 16617111, PubMed : 19273597, PubMed : 19923322, PubMed : 33693784, PubMed : 7744004, PubMed : 9171063). Acts as a downstream effector of the small GTPases CDC42 and RAC1 (PubMed : 7744004). Activation by the binding of active CDC42 and RAC1 results in a conformational change and a subsequent autophosphorylation on several serine and/or threonine residues (PubMed : 7744004). Full-length PAK2 stimulates cell survival and cell growth (PubMed : 7744004). Phosphorylates MAPK4 and MAPK6 and activates the downstream target MAPKAPK5, a regulator of F-actin polymerization and cell migration (PubMed : 21317288). Phosphorylates JUN and plays an important role in EGF-induced cell proliferation (PubMed : 21177766). Phosphorylates many other substrates including histone H4 to promote assembly of H3.3 and H4 into nucleosomes, BAD, ribosomal protein S6, or MBP (PubMed : 21724829). Phosphorylates CASP7, thereby preventing its activity (PubMed : 21555521, PubMed : 27889207). Additionally, associates with ARHGEF7 and GIT1 to perform kinase-independent functions such as spindle orientation control during mitosis (PubMed : 19273597, PubMed : 19923322). On the other hand, apoptotic stimuli such as DNA damage lead to caspase-mediated cleavage of PAK2, generating PAK-2p34, an active p34 fragment that translocates to the nucleus and promotes cellular apoptosis involving the JNK signaling pathway (PubMed : 12853446, PubMed : 16617111, PubMed : 9171063). Caspase-activated PAK2 phosphorylates MKNK1 and reduces cellular translation (PubMed : 15234964).
