Recombinant Human ROCK2 protein, His & T7-tagged

• Cat.No.: ROCK2-1878H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human ROCK2 aa. (Leu904~Gly1140 (Accession # O75116)) fused with N-terminal His & T7 tag was produced in E. coli cells.

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cytokinesis, smooth muscle contraction, the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, and the activation of the c-fos serum response element. This protein, which is an isozyme of ROCK1 is a target for the small GTPase Rho.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: His&T7
• Form: Freeze-dried powder
• Molecular Mass: Predicted Molecular Mass: 31.1kDa.
• Protein length: Leu904~Gly1140
• Endotoxin: <1.0EU per 1ug (determined by the LAL method)
• Purity: >95%
• Characteristic: The isoelectric point is 5.7.
• Applications: SDS-PAGE; WB; ELISA; IP.
• Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate of the target protein. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. (Referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calculated by the Arrhenius equation.) The loss of this protein is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
• Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8°C for one month. Aliquot and store at -80°C for 12 months.
• Storage Buffer: Supplied as lyophilized form in PBS, pH7.4, containing 5% trehalose, 0.01% sarcosyl.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute in sterile PBS, pH7.2-pH7.4.

Q&As

Discuss the role of ROCK2 in smooth muscle contraction and vascular tone.

ROCK2 is a key regulator of smooth muscle contraction, influencing vascular tone by phosphorylating myosin light chain and promoting actin-myosin interaction.

Describe the molecular crosstalk between ROCK2 and other signaling pathways.

ROCK2 interacts with various signaling pathways, including Wnt, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK pathways, forming a network that regulates cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation.

How does ROCK2 contribute to the regulation of cell cycle progression?

ROCK2 can influence the cell cycle by regulating cyclin-dependent kinase activity and promoting the phosphorylation of proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoints.

What are the implications of ROCK2 in cell migration and invasion?

ROCK2 is involved in the regulation of cell migration and invasion by controlling actin dynamics and focal adhesion turnover, influencing processes like metastasis in cancer.

Discuss the role of ROCK2 in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton.

ROCK2 phosphorylates various downstream targets, such as myosin light chain, leading to actin-myosin contraction and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.
