human ... PRKRA(8575)

General description

Protein kinase, interferon-inducible double stranded RNA-dependent activator/protein activator of the interferon-induced protein kinase (PRKRA, PACT) is a stress-modulated cellular activator of interferon (IFN)-induced double-stranded (ds) RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) which is involved in antiviral defense in mammals. PACT and Mammalian Dicer interacts with double-stranded RNA-binding protein (TRBP) and associate with Dicer to stimulate cleavage of double-stranded RNA found in short hairpin and short interfering RNA (siRNA).

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human PRKRA

Application

Anti-PRKRA polyclonal antibody is used to tag protein kinase, interferon-inducible double stranded RNA-dependent activator/protein activator of the interferon-induced protein kinase for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of protein activator of the interferon-induced protein kinase (PACT) in stress response, antiviral activity and double-stranded RNA processing.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti-PRKRA polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, canine, human, mouse, and rat protein kinase, interferon-inducible double stranded RNA-dependent activators/protein activator of the interferon-induced protein kinases.
PRKRA contains 3 DRBM (double-stranded RNA-binding) domains. It appears to have a pro-apoptotic function that may be suppressed in the presence of growth factor and activates EIF2AK2 in absence of double stranded RNA (dsRNA).

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.
