| Target Information | |
|---|---|
| Target Name | ROCK |
| Gene Abbr. | ROCK1 |
| Gene ID | 6093 |
| Full Name | Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 |
| Alias | P160ROCK, ROCK-I |
| Introduction | 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. Caspase-3-induced cleavage of ROCK1 and direct cleavage of ROCK2 by granzyme B (grB) activates ROCK and leads to phosphorylation of myosin light chain and inhibition of myosin phosphatase. This phosphorylation may account for the mechanism by which Rho regulates cytokinesis, cell motility, cell membrane blebbing during apoptosis, and smooth muscle contraction. |

| Host | Mouse |
| Clonality | Monoclonal |
| Clone No. | Available upon request. |
| Isotype | IgG |
| Immunogen | This antibody was generated by immunizing mice with a synthetic peptide sequence corresponding to amino acids 1114-1126 GNLPESRIEGWLS of human ROCK-1. This sequence is 100% conserved between human, chimpanzee, mouse, rat, dog, and rabbit. This immunogen peptide sequence is adjacent to the caspase-3 cleavage site of ROCK-1. |
| Usage | |
|---|---|
| Application | WB, IF |
| Dilutions | Western Blot (1-2 µg/mL) |
| MW(KDa) | 160 |
| Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat, Canine, Primate, Rabbit |
| Specificity | It recognizes the cleaved C-terminus of ROCK-1. It does not recognize the full-length protein. Since ROCK-1 is cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis, this may be used for detection of apoptosis. |
