This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-83944. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
LATS2 is a serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the LATS tumor suppressor family. LATS2 interacts with a negative regulator of p53 and function in a positive feedback loop with p53 that responds to cytoskeleton damage and this interaction provokes centrosome/mitotic apparatus dysfunction. LATS2 plays an essential role in the maintenance of mitotic fidelity and genomic integrity. LATS2 plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration. It negatively regulates G1/S transition by down-regulating cyclin E/CDK2 kinase activity.
