Application Abreviews Notes
WB 1/100. Detects a band of approximately 50 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 48.6 kDa).

Target

  • Function
    Essential role in G1 cell cycle arrest. Phosphorylates and activates members of the AMPK-related subfamily of protein kinases. Tumor suppressor.
  • Tissue specificity
    Ubiquitously expressed. Strongest expression in testis and fetal liver.
  • Involvement in disease
    Defects in STK11 are a cause of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) [MIM:175200]. PJS is a rare hereditary disease in which there is predisposition to benign and malignant tumors of many organ systems. PJS is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by melanocytic macules of the lips, multiple gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps and an increased risk for various neoplasms, including gastrointestinal cancer.
    Defects in STK11 have been associated with testicular tumors (TEST) [MIM:273300]. A common solid malignancy in males. Germ cell tumors of the testis constitute 95% of all testicular neoplasms.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. LKB1 subfamily.
    Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
  • Cellular localization
    Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Relocates to the cytoplasm when bound to CAB39 and STRAD or CAB39 and ALS2CR2.

    Question

    I have a customer enquiry about antibodies to CAMKK and LKB1, application = WB / IF, species = dictyostelium

    I know that you do not have antibodies to these targets tested in Dictyostelium, but I had trouble finding out about identity of the proteins between the target species and Dicty. So I am hoping you can get some information in a more expedient fashion that I can pass onto the customer.

    I guess it might be possible that at Trial (testing) discount might be applicable?

    Read More
    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    I have performed a sequence alignment for LKB1 for Dictyostelium and for human (which is used to raise most of our antibodies.) Unfortunately there is only a total of 33% homology between the two proteins. I have contacted the lab and indeed all the immunogens of the anti-LKB1antibodies guaranteed to work in WB/IF in our catalogue have a 28-50% sequence homology with the Dictyostelium protein and therefore are not likely to work.

    The amino acid sequence for LKB1 for Dictyostelium that I used can be found at http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q15831.fasta. Unfortunately, this is the predicted amino acid sequence for the species and has not been confirmed therefore, if your customer has the verified sequence of this protein, then I will be happy to repeat these alignments to verify the homology.

    Regarding an anti-CAMKK antibody, I am not able to recommend a suitable one unless I have the Dictyostelium amino acid sequence for this protein. If your customer could send it, then again I will be happy to perform the sequence alignments.

    I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

    I have found the amino acid sequence for LKB1 for Dictyostelium which can be found at http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q15831.fasta

    I have contacted the lab to see if any of our antibodies would be compatible for use in Dictyostelium.

    I have not been able to find the sequence for CAMKK for Dictyostelium. Could you ask your customer to send it if they have it so that I may perform the sequence alignments?

    I look forward to your reply.

    What is the epitope for antibody ab15095?

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    I had a quick chat with my colleague in lab. They have confirmed that the antibody has been raised against the full length protein so they do not have determined the epitope this antibody is recognizing

    I hope this information is nevertheless helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

    Question

    I wonder if you have the immunizing peptide for ab15095 (anti-Lkb1) for sale. I am planning to use the antibody for IHC-P and would like to include a negative control with a neutralized antibody to exclude false positive staining/non-specific binding. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    I have checked with supplying the lab, but unfortunately, the immunogen is not available for sale.

    Alternatively, I could recommend an isotype control (mouse IgG2b) to be used as negative control, for instance:

    ab91366 (Mouse IgG2b [PLPV219] - Isotype Control)
    https://www.abcam.com/Mouse-IgG2b-PLPV219-Isotype-Control-ab91366.html

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    The immunogen was ahighly purified recombinant full length protein made in E. coli, but is not a peptide. I will check with the lab if the immunogen might be commercially available and let you know what I find out.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
