Anti-PAK1 + PAK2 + PAK3 (phospho S141) antibody,Abcam,AB5247

P21-activated kinase (PAK) is actually a family of serine/threonine protein kinases, members of which are activated by small molecular weight GTPases. The three most common isoforms are PAK 1, PAK 2, and PAK 3 (also known as alpha PAK, gamma PAK, and beta PAK, respectively). These kinases contain numerous regulatory elements that trigger diverse signaling processes such as those initiated by activated GTPases, interaction with Src homology 3 (SH3) domains, and caspase mediated proteolytic cleavage. Autophosphorylation of serine 141 (serine 144 for PAK 1 and serine 139 PAK 3), catalyzed by Cdc42, is required for activation of PAK.

Scientific Background

Target data Serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a role in a variety of different signaling pathways including cytoskeleton regulation, cell motility, cell cycle progression, apoptosis or proliferation (PubMed : 12853446, PubMed : 16617111, PubMed : 19273597, PubMed : 19923322, PubMed : 33693784, PubMed : 7744004, PubMed : 9171063). Acts as a downstream effector of the small GTPases CDC42 and RAC1 (PubMed : 7744004). Activation by the binding of active CDC42 and RAC1 results in a conformational change and a subsequent autophosphorylation on several serine and/or threonine residues (PubMed : 7744004). Full-length PAK2 stimulates cell survival and cell growth (PubMed : 7744004). Phosphorylates MAPK4 and MAPK6 and activates the downstream target MAPKAPK5, a regulator of F-actin polymerization and cell migration (PubMed : 21317288). Phosphorylates JUN and plays an important role in EGF-induced cell proliferation (PubMed : 21177766). Phosphorylates many other substrates including histone H4 to promote assembly of H3.3 and H4 into nucleosomes, BAD, ribosomal protein S6, or MBP (PubMed : 21724829). Phosphorylates CASP7, thereby preventing its activity (PubMed : 21555521, PubMed : 27889207). Additionally, associates with ARHGEF7 and GIT1 to perform kinase-independent functions such as spindle orientation control during mitosis (PubMed : 19273597, PubMed : 19923322). On the other hand, apoptotic stimuli such as DNA damage lead to caspase-mediated cleavage of PAK2, generating PAK-2p34, an active p34 fragment that translocates to the nucleus and promotes cellular apoptosis involving the JNK signaling pathway (PubMed : 12853446, PubMed : 16617111, PubMed : 9171063). Caspase-activated PAK2 phosphorylates MKNK1 and reduces cellular translation (PubMed : 15234964). See full target information PAK2 phospho S141
