ELISA, Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF)
Specificity
At least three isoforms of SIK3 are known to exist, this antibody will detect two isoforms. SIK3 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with SIK1 and SIK2.
Purification
SIK3 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
SIK3 antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human SIK3. The immunogen is located within amino acids 1190 - 1240 of SIK3.
SIK3 antibody can be used for detection of SIK3 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunofluorescence starting at 20 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples and Immunofluorescence in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

SIK3 Antibody: Salt-inducible kinase family (SIKs) proteins are thought to have a role in steroidogenesis, adipogenesis or regulation of tumor malignancy. Three members (SIK1, SIK2 and SIK3) in the SIK family have been identified thus far. Their kinase domain sequences are closely homologous to those of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). SIK3 can be phosphorylated by a tumor-suppressor kinase LKB1. It is highly and preferentially expressed in ovarian tumors but not in adenomyosis and leiomyoma and may be a potential diagnostic marker for ovarian cancers.
