BRSK1 is a widely expressed protein, with highest levels being detected in the brain and testis. It is essential for the polarization forebrain neurones which results in the distinct properties of axons and dendrites. Research suggests that BRSK1 is involved in the regulation of G2/M arrest and functions as a checkpoint kinase following UV- or methyl methane sulfonate (but not IR-) induced DNA damage. BRSK1 phosphorylates WEE1 and CDC25B in vitro and CDC25C in vitro and in vivo.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry: 5ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
