Antibody Code: NK227-3
Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific
Protein UniProt: Q15831
Protein SigNET: LKB1
Antibody Type: Polyclonal
Antibody Host Species: Rabbit
Antibody Immunogen Source: Human LKB1 (STK11) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01ASO90
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CLRRIPNGEANVKKEI
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues L85 to I99.
Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.
Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: LKB1 (STK11) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CAMK group and CAMKL family. LKB1 has important roles in the regulation of cell metabolism, cell polarity, apoptosis, and the response to DNA damage. LKB1 promotes recruitment of p53/TP53 to the CDKN1A/WAF1 promoter to activate transcription. in addition, LKB1 regulates p53/TP53-dependent apotosis pathways. The LKB1 protein is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells and translocates to the mitochondria during apoptosis. LKB1 is activated by binding of a complex consisting of CAB39 and STRAD or CAB39 and ALS2CR2. Phosphorylation at S307 induces interaction with AMPK1, STLK5 and exportin 1. Phosphorylation at Ser-428 increases phosphotransferase activity. Phosphorylation at Thr-336 inhibits LKB1. It displays tumour suppressor activity that functions in the regulation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family members through phosphorylation of their activation T-loop. LKB1 appears to be a tumour suppressor protein (TSP). Loss-of-function mutations in the STK11 gene cause Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by gastrointestinal polyps and high cancer risk. LKB1 deficiency is linked to aggressive cancer phenotypes and metabolic reprogramming. Cancer-related mutations in human tumours point to a loss of function of the protein kinase. In particularly, cancer-associated mutations are found in the substrate recognition domain of the protein or result in protein truncation. Significantly reduced LKB1 expression has also been observed in benign intestinal polyps, which correlated with reduced apoptosis, which may potentially contribute to the development of malignant intestinal tumours. Additionally, LKB1 protein in tumour cells is restricted to the nucleus, compared to the normal distribution of the protein in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. The introduction of LKB1 protein into LKB1-deficient cancer cell lines results in G1 phase cell cycle arrest. This effect is still seen for LKB1 proteins that lack nuclear localization signals, indicating that the tumour suppressive effects of the kinase are mediated in the cytoplasm. The proposed mechanism of LKB1-mediated cell cycle arrest is a p53-dependent induction of p21. LKB1 plays a role in the DNA damage response, interacting with p53 and aiding in repair. Analysis of gene expression in human lung cancer cell lines and mouse lung tumours revealed that repression of LKB1 results in the activation of various metastasis-promoting genes, such as NEDD9, VEGFC, and CD24.
