Detects a band of approximately 160 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 158 kDa). IP 1/60. ICC 1/50 - 1/100. IHC-P 1/50 - 1/100. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. Application notes Is unsuitable for Flow Cyt. Target Function Phosphorylates and activates DAPK3, which then regulates myosin light chain phosphatase through phosphorylation of MYPT1 thereby regulating the assembly of the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration, invasiveness of tumor cells, smooth muscle contraction and neurite outgrowth. Required for centromere positioning and centromere-dependent exit from mitosis. Necessary for apoptotic membrane blebbing. Tissue specificity Detected in blood platelets. Sequence similarities Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain. Contains 1 PH domain. Contains 1 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc finger. Contains 1 protein kinase domain. Contains 1 REM (Hr1) repeat. Domain The C-terminal auto-inhibitory domain interferes with kinase activity. RHOA binding leads to a conformation change and activation of the kinase. Truncated ROCK1 is constitutively activated. Post-translational modifications Autophosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis. This leads to constitutive activation of the kinase and membrane blebbing. Cellular localization Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton > centrosome > centriole. Golgi apparatus membrane. Associated with the mother centriole and an intercentriolar linker (By similarity). A small proportion is associated with Golgi membranes.
