General Background: Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) dephosphorylates lipids. Malfunctions in this contribute to many human cancers. PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (Pink1) was first discovered when researching the PTEN signaling pathway, thus Pink1 is also involved in many human cancers. It is found in the mitochondria and its homozygous C-terminus mutation has been implicated in the early development of Parkinson's disease.
Immunocytochemistry: PINK1 Antibody [BC100-494] - Detection of PINK1 (Green) in HepG2 cells using BC100-494. Nuclei (Blue) are counterstained with Hoechst 33258.
Recognizes at least 3 bands = different cleavage products before and after stabilization.
Cross-reacting band in my HeLa cells just above the top PINK1 band.
