Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Target/Specificity | This Glycerol kinase (GPK2) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 487-515 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Glycerol kinase (GPK2). |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | Glycerol kinase (GPK2) Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | GK2 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | GKP2, GKTA |
| Function | Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism. Essential for male fertility and sperm mitochondrial sheath formation (By similarity). Required for proper arrangement of crescent- like mitochondria to form the mitochondrial sheath during spermatogenesis (By similarity). Can induce mitochondrial clustering through interactions with PLD6 and up-regulation of phosphatidic acid synthesis in the mitochondria (PubMed:28852571). |
| Cellular Location | Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WU65}; Single-pass type IV membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WU65}. Cytoplasm. Note=In sperm the majority of the enzyme is bound to mitochondria {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WU65} |
| Tissue Location | Testis-specific (PubMed:33536340). Expressed in the midpiece of spermatozoa (PubMed:28852571) |

Background
The human glycerol kinase gene family consists of at least 3 expressed loci. The GK1 locus on Xp21.3 is the site of mutations (deletions) causing glycerol kinase deficiency. It comprises 19 exons and is probably ancestral to several other genes which, because they are intronless, are suspected of having arisen by reverse transcriptase mediated events. These include 2 genes on chromosome 4. They are expressed as a single mRNA species in testis where expression is at a high level.
