We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

Supplementary information

SPAK also known as Ste20-related Proline-Alanine-rich Kinase is a serine/threonine protein kinase with a molecular mass of approximately 61 kDa. It plays a critical mechanical role in the regulation of ion transport and cell volume by phosphorylating a variety of ion transporters and channels. SPAK expresses in many tissues including the kidney brain and heart which highlights its multifaceted functions in different physiological contexts.
Biological function summary

SPAK integrates into cellular signaling processes by contributing to the regulation of sodium potassium and chloride transport. This kinase mainly interacts within complexes of kinase networks that include OSR1 and WNK kinases. SPAK has essential roles in mediating responses to osmotic stress and modulating ion homeostasis reflecting its participation in regulating blood pressure and neuronal excitability.

Pathways

SPAK serves a significant role in the WNK signaling pathway and the MAPK pathway. WNK kinases activate SPAK through phosphorylation allowing SPAK to modulate the activity of co-transporter proteins. This interaction is important for managing ion fluxes across membranes. Furthermore SPAK's interplay with the MAPK pathway implicates it in cellular stress responses and proliferation where it coordinates with players like p38 MAPK to influence cell survival.

Researchers have linked SPAK to conditions like hypertension and epilepsy. Its association with hypertension arises through its involvement in sodium balance where disrupted SPAK activity can lead to increased blood pressure. SPAK also connects with epilepsy via modulation of neuronal ion transport playing a part alongside other proteins such as OSR1 in maintaining neuronal excitability. Understanding SPAK's role helps in developing strategies for managing these conditions.

Target data

Effector serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the WNK-SPAK/OSR1 kinase cascade, which is involved in various processes, such as ion transport, response to hypertonic stress and blood pressure (PubMed : 16669787, PubMed : 18270262, PubMed : 21321328, PubMed : 34289367). Specifically recognizes and binds proteins with a RFXV motif (PubMed : 16669787, PubMed : 21321328). Acts downstream of WNK kinases (WNK1, WNK2, WNK3 or WNK4) : following activation by WNK kinases, catalyzes phosphorylation of ion cotransporters, such as SLC12A1/NKCC2, SLC12A2/NKCC1, SLC12A3/NCC, SLC12A5/KCC2 or SLC12A6/KCC3, regulating their activity (PubMed : 21321328). Mediates regulatory volume increase in response to hyperosmotic stress by catalyzing phosphorylation of ion cotransporters SLC12A1/NKCC2, SLC12A2/NKCC1 and SLC12A6/KCC3 downstream of WNK1 and WNK3 kinases (PubMed : 12740379, PubMed : 16669787, PubMed : 21321328). Phosphorylation of Na-K-Cl cotransporters SLC12A2/NKCC1 and SLC12A2/NKCC1 promote their activation and ion influx; simultaneously, phosphorylation of K-Cl cotransporters SLC12A5/KCC2 and SLC12A6/KCC3 inhibit their activity, blocking ion efflux (PubMed : 16669787, PubMed : 19665974, PubMed : 21321328). Acts as a regulator of NaCl reabsorption in the distal nephron by mediating phosphorylation and activation of the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter SLC12A3/NCC in distal convoluted tubule cells of kidney downstream of WNK4 (PubMed : 18270262). Mediates the inhibition of SLC4A4, SLC26A6 as well as CFTR activities (By similarity). Phosphorylates RELT (By similarity).
