Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ ATP13A2 (ATPase type 13A2, also known as PARK9) is a neuronal P-type ATPase of the P5 subfamily. It is present in the lysosome of transiently transfected cells, whereas the unstable truncated mutants are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and degraded by the proteasome._x000D_ ATP13A2 is a member of the P5 subfamily of P-type transport ATPases which include ATP13A1-ATP13A5. Mutations in ATP3A2 also known as PARK9 are associated with hereditary Parkinson′s disease._x000D_ Rabbit anti-ATP13A2 (C-terminal region) antibody is specific for human and mouse ATP13A2. Staining of the ATP13A2 band by immunoblotting is specifically inhibited by the ATP13A2 immunizing peptide._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below._x000D_ Western Blotting (1 paper)_x000D_ Rabbit anti-ATP13A2 (C-terminal region) antibody has been used for western blotting applications at a dilution of 1:1000._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ ATP13A2 (ATPase type 13A2, also known as PARK9) shows elevated expression levels in the brains of sporadic Parkinson′s disease (PD) patients, suggesting a potential role in the more common forms of PD. It is associated with Kufor-Rakeb syndrome (KRS). KRS is a rare form of hereditary PD with juvenile onset. In addition to typical signs of PD, affected individuals show symptoms of more widespread pyramidal neurodegeneration, including dementia.
