Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

ILK1 (4G9) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total ILK1 protein. The antibody may cross-react with ILK2.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxy terminus of human ILK1.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of cell extracts from various cell lines, using ILK1 (4G9) Rabbit mAb.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Fluorescein Conjugate) #6201 (-) or SignalSilence® ILK1 siRNA I #6202 or SignalSilence® ILK1 siRNA II (+), using ILK1 (4G9) Rabbit mAb #3856 and β-Actin Antibody #4967. ILK1 (4G9) Rabbit mAb confirms silencing of ILK1 expression and β-Actin Antibody is used to control for loading and specificity of ILK1 siRNA.

Background

Integrin-linked kinases (ILKs) couple integrins and growth factors to downstream pathways involved in cell survival, cell cycle control, cell-cell adhesion and cell motility (1). ILK functions as a scaffold bridging the extracellular matrix (ECM) and growth factor receptors to the actin cytoskeleton through interactions with integrin, PINCH (which links ILK to the RTKs via Nck2), CH-ILKBP and affixin (1). ILK phosphorylates Akt at Ser473, GSK-3 on Ser9, myosin light chain 2 (MLC2) on Ser18/Thr19, as well as affixin (2-5). These phosphorylation events are key regulatory steps in modulating the activities of the targets. ILK activity is stimulated by PI3 kinase and negatively regulated by the tumor suppressor PTEN and a PP2C protein phosphatase, ILKAP (1,3,6). It has been suggested that the conserved Ser343 residue in the activation loop plays a key role in the activation of ILK1 (2).
