Target
-
Function
Phosphorylates MAP kinase p38. Seems to be active only in mitosis. May also play a role in the activation of lymphoid cells. When phosphorylated, forms a complex with TP53, leading to TP53 destabilization and attenuation of G2/M checkpoint during doxorubicin-induced DNA damage. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in the testis and placenta. In the testis, restrictedly expressed in outer cell layer of seminiferous tubules. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase subfamily.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated; in a cell-cycle dependent manner at mitosis. - Information by UniProt

The molecular weight observed is consistent with what has been described in the literature (PMID:23547718; PMID:25909225).
ab236872 was shown to specifically react with PBK/SPK in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in PBK/SPK knockout cells. Wild-type and PBK/SPK knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab236872 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated 1 hour at room temperature at 1/1000 dilution and 1/200,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L), Peroxidase conjugated (ab97051) secondary antibody at 1/100,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
