    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    ROCK1 (E2G4N) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total ROCK1 protein. Non-specific staining was observed in placenta by immunohistochemistry. In some cell lines, this antibody cross-reacts with 45-55 kDa bands of unknown origin by western blot.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the central region of human ROCK1 protein.

    Background

    ROCK (Rho-associated kinase), a family of serine/threonine kinases, is an important downstream target of Rho-GTPase and plays an important role in Rho-mediated signaling. Two isoforms of ROCK have been identified: ROCK1 and ROCK2. ROCK is composed of N-terminal catalytic, coiled-coil, and C-terminal PH (pleckstrin homology) domains. The C-terminus of ROCK negatively regulates its kinase activity (1,2). ROCK1 is cleaved by caspase-3 at a conserved DETD1113/G sequence resulting in loss of its C-terminal inhibitory domain (3). ROCK2 is directly cleaved by granzyme B (grB). Cleavage activates ROCK and leads to phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) and inhibition of myosin phosphatase (4). This phosphorylation may account for the mechanism by which Rho regulates cytokinesis, cell motility, cell membrane blebbing during apoptosis, and smooth muscle contraction (5-7).
