Product Specifications

Immunogen

Antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human PKR. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of PKR. Amino Acid Squence: TVWKKSPEKNERHT

Specificity

Human PKR has 2 isoforms, including isoform 1 (551aa, 62.1kD) and isoform S (510aa, 57.4kD. This antibody detects both human isoforms. Mouse PKR has 1 isoform (515aa, 58.3kD). Rat PKR has only one isoform identified so far (513aa, 58.3kD).

Background: PKR

The interferon-inducible, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-dependent protein kinase PKR is a member of the eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF2-alpha) kinase family, possessing serine-threonine kinase activity and two dsRNA-binding motifs that acts as part of the innate immune system. Upon binding dsRNA, PKR undergoes a conformational change leading to its activation and its phosphorylation of the translation factor eIF2, resulting in a general shutdown of protein synthesis and induction of apoptosis through upregulation of caspase-8 and capsase-9 activity in order to prevent the production of more viruses. To evade the antiviral effects of PKR, viruses have evolved multiple mechanisms, such as the inhibition of PKR by the non-structural protein (NS1) of the influenza virus. More recently, PKR has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer, Huntington, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
