RSK2 is a member of the family of 90-kD ribosomal S6 kinases (1). These proteins are a class of serine/threonine kinases that are activated in response to various extracellular signals, including growth factors, polypeptide hormones and neurotransmitters (2). RSK2 phosphorylates a wide range of substrates, including ribosomal protein S6, and plays a significant role in mediating extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) signal transduction. Mutations in RSK2 have been found to be associated with Coffin-Lowry syndrome (3).
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 1:50
Western Blotting: 1:5,000 (90kD)
Immunohistochemistry: 1:250
Immunoprecipitation: 1:100 1ug/mg of total cell protein (~10e7 cells)
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
