PRKN Antibody / Parkin RBR E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Antibody detects Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase encoded by the PRKN gene and historically designated PARK2. Parkin belongs to the RING-between-RING (RBR) family of ubiquitin ligases and participates in ubiquitin-dependent regulation of proteins and organelles. It is particularly well studied for its role in mitochondrial quality control and PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy, as well as its association with inherited forms of Parkinson disease.
Under basal conditions, Parkin is maintained primarily in an autoinhibited state. Mitochondrial damage and loss of membrane potential lead to stabilization of the kinase PINK1 on the outer mitochondrial membrane. PINK1 phosphorylates ubiquitin and Parkin, promoting activation and recruitment of Parkin to damaged mitochondria. A PRKN Antibody can therefore support studies examining Parkin expression and localization within this mitochondrial stress-response pathway.
Once activated, Parkin ubiquitinates numerous proteins associated with the outer mitochondrial membrane. These ubiquitin signals contribute to recruitment of downstream machinery involved in the recognition and removal of dysfunctional mitochondria through mitophagy. This pathway helps maintain mitochondrial homeostasis and is widely studied in the context of cellular stress, autophagy, mitochondrial dynamics and neuronal survival.
PRKN is also an important target in neurodegeneration research. Pathogenic variants in the gene are associated with autosomal recessive juvenile and early-onset parkinsonism. Impaired Parkin function can disrupt ubiquitin signaling and mitochondrial quality control, providing an important molecular connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and mechanisms contributing to neuronal degeneration. Parkin is consequently investigated alongside PINK1 and other regulators of mitophagy, oxidative stress and mitochondrial homeostasis.
NSJ Bioreagents offers PRKN Antibody reagents for investigating Parkin expression and function. A Parkin RBR E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Antibody can support research into ubiquitination, PINK1-Parkin signaling, mitophagy, mitochondrial quality control, Parkinson disease and molecular mechanisms associated with neurodegeneration.
Researchers studying PRKN expression and Parkin function can explore our Parkin Antibody page for additional reagents targeting this E3 ubiquitin ligase and its roles in mitophagy, mitochondrial quality control and neurodegeneration.
Titration of the PRKN Antibody / Parkin RBR E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 387-417 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this Parkin / PRKN antibody.
Aliquot the Parkin / PRKN antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
