Western Blot Positive Control Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3
Overview: Protein kinase- Eukaryotic translation initiation tactor 2-a kinase 3 (PERK) is a SerinelThreonine protein kinase, type I membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that is abundant in secretory tissues and is inducible by ER-stress. ER stress increases the activity of PERK which phosphorylates the a subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2 (EIF2), leading to its inactivation, a reduction of translation initiation and repression of global protein synthesis., which then phosphorylates elF2a to promote reduced translation (1). PERK serves as a critical effector of unfolded protein response (UPR)-induced G1 growth arrest due to the loss of Cyclin 01. Research studies have demonstrated that PERK-deficient mice have defects in pancreatic 13 cells several weeks after birth, suggesting a role for PERK-mediated translational control in protecting secretory cells from ER stress. Defects in EIF2AK3 are the cause of Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) which is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by permanent neonatal or early infancy insulin-dependent diabetes and, at a later age, epiphyseal dysplasia, osteoporosis, growth retardation and other multisystem manifestations, such as hepatic and renal dysfunctions, mental retardation and cardiovascular abnormalities
PERK selective antibodies were generated against a peptide taken from the human PERK protein. The PERK-selective antibodies are affinity purified on an immobilized antigen based affinity matrix, the isolated antibodies were then stabilized in antibody stabilization buffer for long-term storage.

Product Notes
The PERK eif2ak3 (Catalog #AAA75976) is a Positive Control and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's PERK can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, WB (Western Blot). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PERK eif2ak3 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PERK, Positive Control" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
