MARK is a family of kinases that is known for its involvement in establishing cell polarity and in phosphorylating tau protein during Alzheimer neurodegeneration. Expression of MARK causes the phosphorylation of MAPs at their KXGS motifs, thereby detaching MAPs from the microtubules and thus facilitating the transport of particles. This occurs without impairing the intrinsic activity of motors because the velocity during active movement remains unchanged. In primary retinal ganglion cells, transfection with tau leads to the inhibition of axonal transport of mitochondria, APP vesicles, and other cell components which leads to starvation of axons and vulnerability against stress. This transport inhibition can be rescued by phosphorylating tau with MARK
Titration of the MARK1 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 671-700 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this MARK1 antibody.
Aliquot the MARK1 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
