ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, IF Microscopy, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot. Anti-PINK1 truncated Antibody has been tested in Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA. Positive controls were recombinant PINK1 protein and overexpressed PINK1 transfected HEK293 @ 1μg/mL in western blot. Expect a lower strength band at 62.7 kDa in western blot using appropriate lysates. PINK1 truncated antibody strongly detects endogenously truncated PINK1 protein, seen at ~30kDa. PINK1 is highly phosphorylated and degrades rapidly which may cause additional banding in western blot. Positive control cell lines for immunofluorescence assays are NIH3T3 (p/n W10-000-358). Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and immunoprecipitation.

Description
This affinity purified antibody is directed against human PINK1. This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Blast analysis of the sequence of the immunogen shows 100% identity with human and 93% identity to mouse. . PINK1 (PTEN induced putative kinase 1) belongs to the protein kinase superfamily and Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PINK1 protects against mitochondrial dysfunction during cellular stress by phosphorylating mitochondrial proteins. It is involved in the clearance of damaged mitochondria via selective autophagy (mitophagy) by mediating activation and translocation of PARK2. Targets PARK2 to dysfunctional depolarized mitochondria through the phosphorylation of MFN2. Activates PARK2 in 2 steps: (1) by mediating phosphorylation at Ser-65 of PARK2 and (2) mediating phosphorylation of ubiquitin, converting PARK2 to its fully-active form. PINK1 interacts with PARK2 and FBXO7 and forms a complexes with PARK2 and PARK7. PINK1 is associated with Parkinson disease 6 (PARK6). Anti-PINK1 Antibody is useful for researcher interested in neurological research, neurodegenerative disorders, Pink/Parkin Mediated Mitophagy, and Parkinsons Disease Pathway.
Immunogen
Anti-PINK1 truncated antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a C-Term portion of human PINK1 conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH).
