Background

Quaking (QKI) is a member of the signal transduction and activator of RNA (STAR) protein family of RNA-binding proteins (1,2). Mutations in the mouse Qki locus results in impaired myelin formation resulting in tremors (3). QKI proteins exist as homodimers, and disruption of the dimerization process is lethal in mice (2). QKI exists in different isoforms that differ in their C-terminus, resulting in unique subcellular localizations (4). The nuclear isoform of QKI, QKI-5, is involved in regulation of alternative splicing of MAG mRNA, which encodes for a protein important for myelin sheath formation and maintenance (4,5). QKI has also been implicated in schizophrenia and oligodendrocyte differentiation (6). QKI can function as a tumor suppressor, as it is regulated by p53 to stabilize miRNAs that regulate TGF-β signaling (7).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.

QKI (E7O4A) Rabbit mAb

Western Blotting Image 1: QKI (E7O4A) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines using QKI (E7O4A) Rabbit mAb (upper) or β-Actin (D6A8) Rabbit mAb #8457 (lower). As expected, Colo 205 cells are negative for QKI expression.
Immunoprecipitation Image 1: QKI (E7O4A) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Immunoprecipitation of QKI protein from HeLa cell extracts. Lane 1 is 10% input, lane 2 is Rabbit (DA1E) mAb IgG XP® Isotype Control #3900, and lane 3 is QKI (E7O4A) Rabbit mAb. Western blot analysis was performed using QKI (E7O4A) Rabbit mAb. Anti-rabbit IgG, HRP-linked Antibody #7074 was used as a secondary antibody.
