Product Specific Information

This antibody was cross-adsorbed to unphosphorylated PAK6 (Ser-165) peptide then affinity purified using phospho-PAK6 (Ser-165) peptide. The antibody detects a 75 kDa* band on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human PAK6 recombinant protein phosphorylated with ERK2. This reactivity is specifically blocked by pre-incubation with phospho-PAK6 (Ser-165) peptide and also by treatment with lambda phosphatase.

Target Information

PAK6 is a serine/threonine kinase expressed in the testis and prostate. It associates with both the estrogen and androgen receptors. The p21-activated kinases (PAKs) are serine-threonine kinases that bind to the active forms of Cdc42 and Rac. They are divided into two groups, the first of which include PAK1, 2 and 3, and can be activated by Cdc42/Rac binding. Group 1 PAKs contain an autoinhibitory domain whose activity is regulated by Cdc42/Rac binding. The group 1 PAKs are known to be involved in cellular processes such as gene transcription, apoptosis, and cell morphology and motility. Much less is known about the second group, which includes PAK4, 5 and 6. These proteins are not activated by Cdc42/Rac binding. Later experiments have shown it to be activated by MAP kinase kinase 6 and p38 MAP kinase, suggesting that PAK6 may play a role in the cellular response to stress-related signals.
