| Sequence: | Leu 904-Gly 1140 |
| Accession: | O75116 |
| Storage: | Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months. |
| Shipping: | This product is provided as lyophilized powder which is shipped with ice packs. |
| Formulation: | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual. |
| Reconstitution: | Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information. |
| Background: | ROCK2/II (Rho-associated protein kinase 2; also Rho-kinase alpha ) is a member of the AGC serine/threonine protein kinase family. ROCK2 is a downstream target of activated RhoA. Its activation results in myosin phosphorylation with subsequent muscle contraction. Human ROCK2 is 1388 amino acids (aa) in length, and appears to be present as a dimer. It contains a protein kinase domain (aa 92‑354), a coiled-coil region (aa 429‑1131) and a zinc-finger region (aa 1260‑1315). Two isoforms show an alternate start site at M686, and a three aa substitution for the N-terminal 444 amino acids. |
