Description
Product Usage Information
Matched Antibody Pairs consist of capture and detection antibodies that bind to non-overlapping epitopes. For specific identification of the capture and detection antibodies in this pair, please refer to the data figure caption. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Formulation
Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.
Storage
Store at -20ºC. This product will freeze at -20ºC so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles . A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.
Background
Phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinases (PIP4Ks) synthesize phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P ), a key precursor in phosphoinositide signaling that directly modulates the activity of signaling proteins and cellular processes. There are two subfamilies of PIP kinases, type I and II, that generate PtdIns(4,5)P from distinct substrate pools. PIP4 type I kinases use PtdIns5P as a substrate, whereas PIP5 type II kinases use PtdIns4P (1,2). In mammalian cells, three isoforms of each PIP4K and PIP5K subfamily, encoded by distinct genes, have been characterized (3-7). All PIP kinases are stimulated by phosphatidic acid, extensively regulated by ARF and Rho GTPases, and inhibited by protein kinase A and PI-stimulated autophosphorylation (8). PIP4K2C, also known as phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type-2 gamma (PI5P4Kγ), is a member of the type II PIP kinase family and is broadly expressed, with the highest levels in kidney and brain tissue (9). PIP4K2C can form a homodimer or heterodimer with its two other known family members, PIP4K2A and PIP4K2B (10). PIP4K2C is a regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling, and Pip4k2c KO mice demonstrate enhanced immune responses and develop autoimmunity (11,12).
