LKB1/STK11 Antibody Summary

• Immunogen: A synthetic peptide made to a N-terminal portion of the human LKB1 protein (between residues 1-100) [UniProt Q15831]
• Localization: The inactive form localizes to the nucleus; upon activation LKB1 translocates to the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Gene: STK11
• Purity: Immunogen affinity purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence 1:500-1:2000
  • Immunohistochemistry 1:200
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 1:200
  • Western Blot 1 ug/ml
• Application Notes: This LKB1 antibody is useful for Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence, IHC-paraffin embedded sections and Western blot. In Western blot a band is detected ~48 kDa in human fetal liver. In IHC-P, staining was observed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of mouse stomach. Prior to immunostaining paraffin tissues, antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended. In ICC/IF, nuclear staining was observed in HepG2 cells.

Reactivity Notes

Background

Liver kinase B1 (LKB1), also known as serine/threonine-protein kinase STK11, is a member of the serine/threonine kinase family. LKB1 is a tumor suppressor that helps control cell structure, apoptosis and energy homeostasis through regulation of numerous downstream kinases. More specifically, LKB1 controls the activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family members, regulates cell polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton, regulates the inhibition of cell growth signaling pathways in response to low energy levels, regulates autophagy in response to nutrient deprivation, and is involved in DNA damage response by differentiating B-cells in the germinal center. LKB1 phosphorylation in cells occurs at several sites, including human LKB1 at Ser31/325/428 and Thr189/336/363. LKB1 is ubiquitously expressed in tissues with the strongest expression in testis and fetal liver. Defects in the LKB1 gene have been known to cause Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and other sporadic cancers. While not thoroughly characterized, alternate transcriptional splice variants of the LKB1 gene have been observed.
