PAK2 Antibody (677411) [CoraFluor™ 1]

CoraFluor™ 1, amine reactive (Catalog:7920) and CoraFluor™ 2, amine reactive (Catalog # 7950) are terbium-based probes that have been developed for use as TR-FRET donors. They emit wavelengths compatible with commonly used fluorescent acceptor dyes such as BODIPY® (or BDY) and Janelia Fluor® dyes, FITC (Catalog # 5440), TMR and Cyanine 5 (Catalog # 5436). CoraFluor™ fluorescence is brighter and more stable in biological media than existing TR-FRET donors, leading to enhanced sensitivity and improved data generation. CoraFluor™ 1 exhibits excitation upon exposure to a 337 nm UV laser.

PAK2 Antibody (677411) [CoraFluor™ 1] Summary

• Description: CoraFluor(TM) 1 is a high performance terbium-based TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) or TRF (Time-Resolved Fluorescence) donor for high throughput assay development. CoraFluor(TM) 1 absorbs UV light at approximately 340 nm, and emits at approximately 490 nm, 545 nm, 585 nm and 620 nm. It is compatible with common acceptor dyes that absorb at the emission wavelengths of CoraFluor(TM) 1. CoraFluor(TM) 1 can be used for the development of robust and scalable TR-FRET binding assays such as target engagement, ternary complex, protein-protein interaction and protein quantification assays.

Background

p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) is a member of a family of serine/threonine protein kinase defined by their interaction with the small GTPases, Cdc42 and Rac (1-2). The PAK proteins can be essentially divided into two categories, groups I (PAK1, PAK2 and PAK3) and group II (PAK4, PAK5 and PAK6), based on their structures (3). All six PAKs play an important role in diverse cellular processes, including cytoskeletal dynamics, growth/apoptotic signal transduction through MAP kinases, and regulation of transcription factors (4). The ubiquitous PAK-2 is unique among the PAK isoforms because it is also activated through proteolytic cleavage by caspases or caspase-like proteases (5). Full-length PAK-2 is localized in the cytoplasm, whereas the proteolytic PAK-2p34 fragment translocates to the nucleus. Activation of full-length PAK-2 stimulates cell survival, whereas proteolytic activation of PAK-2p34 is involved in programmed cell death (6).
