STK16 Antibody / Serine/threonine-protein kinase 16 (FY13082)

Immunohistochemical staining of STK16 using anti-STK16 antibody. STK16 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of rat testis tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 ug/ml rabbit anti-STK16 antibody overnight at 4oC. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37oC. The tissue section was developed using an HRP secondary and DAB substrate.

Western blot analysis of STK16 using anti-STK16 antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on % SDS-PAGE gel at 80V (Stacking gel) / 120V (Resolving gel) for 2 hours. Lane 1: human THP-1 whole cell lysates, Lane 2: human Jurkat whole cell lysates, Lane 3: human HEL whole cell lysates, Lane 4: human HepG2 whole cell lysates, Lane 5: rat liver tissue lysates, Lane 6: rat kidney tissue lysates, Lane 7: mouse liver tissue lysates, Lane 8: mouse kidney tissue lysates. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-STK16 antibody at 0.5 ug/ml overnight at 4oC, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an ECL Plus Western Blotting Substratewith Tanon 5200 system. A doublet is detected at ~37 kDa, consistent with the predicted size of STK16. The two bands likely reflect differential phosphorylation states of STK16 (upper, phosphorylated; lower, less phosphorylated). STK16 is N-myristoylated/palmitoylated for membrane association, and autophosphorylation commonly produces this closely spaced doublet on SDS-PAGE.

Flow Cytometry analysis of RT4 cells using anti-STK16 antibody. Overlay histogram showing RT4 cells stained with (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-STK16 antibody (1 ug/million cells) for 30 min at 20oC. DyLight 488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (5-10 ug/million cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20oC. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1 ug/million cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.
