Scientific Data

Western Blot Detection of Human PERK antibody by Western Blot. View Larger

Detection of Human PERK by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line and NTera-2 human testicular embryonic carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Human PERK Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3999) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for PERK at approximately 130 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Knockout Validated Western Blot Shows Human PERK Antibody Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line. View Larger

Western Blot Shows Human PERK Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line. Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and PERK knockout HeLa cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human PERK Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3999) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for PERK at approximately 150 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HeLa cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: PERK

PERK, a type 1 ER membrane kinase, mediates eIF2 alpha phosphorylation at Ser51 during the UPR (unfolded protein response). Protein synthesis is inhibited, thereby reducing the burden of protein substrate for the ER folding and degradation mechanism. Phosphorylation of eIF2 alpha also selectively promotes the expression of UPR target genes such as Chop and BiP. PERK may also play a role in tumor cell adaptation to hypoxic stress by regulating the translation of angiogenic factors necessary for the development of functional microvessels. Mutations in PERK are responsible for the rare autosomal-recessive disorder, WRS (Wolcott-Rallison syndrome).
