General description

PKR is a double-stranded RNA-dependent serine/threonine kinase that regulates antiproliferative and antiviral functions of interferons. PKR also functions as a translational inhibitor. In genotoxic environments, PKR mediates CDC2 ubiquitination and G2 arrest in cells . Anti-PKR is antibody is specific for human PKR (68 kDa).

Immunogen

C-terminus of human PKR (amino acids 531-550), conjugated to KLH

Application

Anti-PKR (ET-20) antibody I suitable for use in western blot (1:2,000 using a whole cell extract of the human epitheloid carcinoma HeLa cell line induced with interferon-γ) and microarray.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide

The double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase PKR is an interferon-inducible enzyme that possesses antiviral and antiproliferative activities. We examined expression of PKR transcripts in human placenta tissue and cultured human amnion U cells. Alternative exon 2 structures were identified and characterized
