Application

Anti-IPMK antibody produced in rabbit may be used for the detection of IPMK protein inlymphoblasts by immunoprecipitation human adenocarcinogenic cell lines by western blottingin mouse 3T3 cells by western blotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) indirectly mediates mRNA transport from nucleus to cytoplasm by mediating synthesis of phosphatidylinositol levels. IPMK interacts and stabilizes tumor necrosis factor receptor in HEK293T cells.IPMK coordinates with various signaling networks. Its deletion impairs immune response signalling pathways. Knockdown of IPMK leads to imbalance in the inositol polyphosphates. IPMK binds to tumor suppressor protein and regulates transcription and cell death. Mutation in the IPMK gene results in a truncated protein with reduced kinase activity. IPMK gene deletion or RNA interference results in cell growth inhibition. IPMK is regarded as prime target for tumor suppression. Pathology of Huntington′s disease is associated with IPMK protein depletion. In Alzheimer′s patients, low IPMK transcript levels may play a key in neurodegeneration.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

General description

The gene encoding inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) enzyme is located on human chromosome 10q21.1. IPMK consists of inositol phosphate binding, nuclear localization signal, and ATP-binding kinase domain. It is a catalytically flexible enzyme and is part of intracellular signalling network.
