Target

  • Function
    Protein kinase which is a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton and cell polarity. Involved in regulation of smooth muscle contraction, actin cytoskeleton organization, stress fiber and focal adhesion formation, neurite retraction, cell adhesion and motility via phosphorylation of DAPK3, GFAP, LIMK1, LIMK2, MYL9/MLC2, PFN1 and PPP1R12A. Phosphorylates FHOD1 and acts synergistically with it to promote SRC-dependent non-apoptotic plasma membrane blebbing. Phosphorylates JIP3 and regulates the recruitment of JNK to JIP3 upon UVB-induced stress. Acts as a suppressor of inflammatory cell migration by regulating PTEN phosphorylation and stability. Acts as a negative regulator of VEGF-induced angiogenic endothelial cell activation. Required for centrosome positioning and centrosome-dependent exit from mitosis. Plays a role in terminal erythroid differentiation. May regulate closure of the eyelids and ventral body wall by inducing the assembly of actomyosin bundles. Promotes keratinocyte terminal differentiation. Involved in osteoblast compaction through the fibronectin fibrillogenesis cell-mediated matrix assembly process, essential for osteoblast mineralization.
  • Tissue specificity
    Detected in blood platelets.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
    Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.
    Contains 1 PH domain.
    Contains 1 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc finger.
    Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
    Contains 1 REM (Hr1) repeat.
  • Domain
    The C-terminal auto-inhibitory domain interferes with kinase activity. RHOA binding leads to a conformation change and activation of the kinase. Truncated ROCK1 is constitutively activated.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Autophosphorylated on serine and threonine residues.
    Cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis. This leads to constitutive activation of the kinase and membrane blebbing.
  • Cellular localization
    Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Golgi apparatus membrane. Cell projection, bleb. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Cell projection, ruffle. Associated with the mother centriole and an intercentriolar linker. Colocalizes with ITGB1BP1 and ITGB1 at the cell membrane predominantly in lamellipodia and membrane ruffles, but also in retraction fibers. Localizes at the cell membrane in an ITGB1BP1-dependent manner (By similarity). A small proportion is associated with Golgi membranes.

Question

Hi following on from the email correspondence below, can you let me know if you have a new parent lot yet for ab45171? I really need to get the antibody working again. If not can I try an aliquot of ab134181 which appears to be a new ROCK1 antibody

Thanks

Answer

Thank you once again for your message. Thank you also for your patience waiting for a response, I wanted to ensure I had time to review the whole case again fully before contacting you as it has been a while since we last corresponded.

I am sorry to confirm that we still only havethe same parent lot ofab45171ROCK1 antibody [EP786Y]available. I would like to reassure you that we monitor feedback closely on a weekly basis and we are not currently concerned about the general quality of this antibody or this batch. Many customers are purchasing this product and when I checked the records,we have received no other complaints in the last year for this product. It is unusual and regrettable that several vials have not worked for you.

I would be pleased to provide a replacement from the same lot, which will still be covered by our guarantee. Alternatively, I fully understand your concerns and you prefer a credit note in this case, or an alternative replacement of ab134181I will be pleased to arrange this for you.

I hope this will be helpful. I look forward to hearing from you with details of how you would like to proceed.

Question

Hi we have tested the new ROCK1 antibody ab97592 using the same conditions/method we always used for ab45171 when it was working, but unfortunately the new antibody gave just non-specific staining. I was wondering if it was possible to try ab58305 as an alternative to see if this one will work?

Thanks

Answer

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear that the alternative free of charge replacement has also not worked.

It is regrettable both the antibodies have not provided satisfactory results. I would like to reassure you that ab97592 is tested and guaranteed for IHC-P on human samples.

I am concerned that these experiments are still not working for you. In this case, I would like to investigate further Before deciding how to proceed in this case I would appreciate if you are able to confirm the following information which may help me to determine where the difficulty is:

1. Please confirm what the species and tissue typeof the sample. Are these frozen (IHC-Fr) or paraffin embedded sections (IHC-P)?

2. Please confirm how the samples are being processed. Are the samples fresh before fixation? How are they being fixed?

3. What dilution of antibody is being used? Has this been optimized?

4. How is the antibody being stored?

5. Please confirm the wash steps being used?

6. Is the current vial of secondary antibody working well with other primary antibodies? Please confirm the details for the primary antibody. Has a no primary control been included?

Many thanks for your continued cooperation. I look forward to hearing from you with the requested information.

Question

I think I wrote it in the wrong way,
I would like to test an antibody that can detect ROCK (PCP pathway) in westerns and immuno staining. I does not need to inhibit the signalling itself.
Which one can you recommend?

Answer

Thank you for contacting us.

All the antibodies are well characterized, please choose based on your requirements. e.g polyclonal/ monoclonal, Rabbit/mouse/sheep etc.

The catalogue numbers are:

ab13660, ab45171, ab56661, ab58305, ab125025

ab71598, ab66310, ab10549, ab97592, ab85612

Question

I have been using some of antibodies a lot for Immuno-Staining and Western Blotting.
At the moment I am interested in looking at a functional ROCK antibody and its regulation during PCP / Wnt signalling.
Is there an antibody in your product catalogue you can recommend ?
Thanks for your help,
Constanze

Answer

Thank you for contacting us.

We unfortunately do not have anti ROCK antibodies available that can be used for functional assays e.g. activation or inhibition of ROCK. I would suggest searching the similar antibody clone in publications. We have 6-7 monoclonal antibodies in catalogue however we do not know whether these are being used in any functional assay. I am sorry we are unable to help with this particular ab.

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