ULK4 antibody is human and mouse reactive. Multiple isoforms of ULK4 are known to exist.
Purification
ULK4 antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
ULK4 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human ULK4. The immunogen is located within amino acids 1120 - 1170 of ULK4.
ULK4 antibody can be used for detection of ULK4 by Western blot at 0.5 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for Immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in mouse samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

ULK4 belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase superfamily and plays a role in the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of target proteins (1). Knockout of ULK genes results in a severe defect in the autophagy pathway (2). ULK4, like the other Unc-51-like kinases such as ULK1, ULK2 and ULK3, is highly conserved among eukaryotes (3). ULK4 has been implicated as a gene involved in the development of hydrocephalus (3). This neurologic disorder is being used in animal models to elucidate factors responsible for the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in hydrocephalic humans (4).
