General description

Anti-SGK is developed in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human SGK conjugated to KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin). SGK is localized to the perinuclear or cytoplasmic compartment as a hypophosphorylated protein.
SGK (serum and glucocorticoid-regulated protein kinase) is a 50 kDa member of Ser/Thr kinase family. Sequence of sgk is well conserved across species, the human and rat SGK amino acid sequences are 96-98% identical.

Application

Anti-SGK antibody produced in rabbit has been used in :
  • immunoprecipitation
  • western blotting
  • immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

SGK (serum and glucocorticoid-regulated protein kinase) plays an important role in signal transduction activated by mineral corticoids. It is also regulated at the transcription level by stimuli including glucocorticoid, serum, follicle stimulating hormone as well as changes in cell volume. SGK levels are strongly affected by osmotic changes. SGK is strongly and rapidly stimulated in kidney cells in response to aldosterone and stimulates epithelial Na+ channels, suggesting a central role of SGK in the regulation of sodium transport and homeostasis. SGK transcription is markedly increased in diabetic nephropathy, in response to excessive extracellular glucose concentrations. The localization of SGK in the cell is regulated by hormones or serum. For cell cycle progression, the shuttling of SGK between nucleus and cytoplasm is required.

The sgk, an aldosterone-induced gene in mineralocorticoid target cells, regulates the epithelial sodium channel. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in tight epithelia. The early phase of this stimulatory effect is thought to involve activation of apical sodium channels. To identify immediate-early
