Application Notes Research Use Only Product (RUO) / Not for Diagnosis or Therapeutic Use. The monoclonal antibody (clone 7E10) recognizes both the pro-form of AKAP4 (110 kDa / 854 AA) and the AKAP4 (82 kDa / 665 AA) but does not react with the prodomain (21 kDa).
Application AKAP4 (A-Kinase Anchor Protein 4) protein is encoded by a single gene located on chromosome X. The proAKAP4 polypeptide is converted into mature AKAP4 by proteolytic cleavage of the amino-terminal prodomain. AKAP4 and its precursor proAKAP4 are both major components of the pig, horse, bull, mouse, rat, ram, dog, rabbit and human sperm fibrous sheath of the sperm flagellum. AKAP4 protein belongs to the family of A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) all sharing a common function of binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and confining the PKA holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell. AKAP4 is also named AKAP-4, AKAP82 (A-Kinase Anchor Protein 82 KDa), PRKA4 (Protein Kinase Anchoring Protein 4), HI, CT99 (Cancer/Testis Antigen 99), FSC1 (Fibrous sheath component 1) or P82. AKAP4 plays a major role in flagellum formation, sperm motility, capacitation and fecundation.
