Description (eCommerce)
PAK2 (p21-activated kinase 2) is part of the family of PAK serine/threonine p21-activating protein kinases involved in cell survival, migration, and invasion. The PAK family of proteins mediates signals from extracellular stimuli to the cytoplasm and nucleus via its association with the small GTP-binding proteins Cdc42 and Rac. PAK2 has been shown to play a specific role in apoptosis and cytoskeletal dynamics. During caspase-mediated apoptosis, PAK2 is cleaved and the C-terminal myristoylated fragment mediates cell death and actin reorganization via the JNK signaling pathway.
Description (Vector)
The p21 activated kinases (PAK) are critical effectors that link Rho GTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling. The PAK proteins are a family of serine/threonine kinases that serve as targets for the small GTP binding proteins, CDC42 and RAC1, and have been implicated in a wide range of biological activities. The protein encoded by this gene is activated by proteolytic cleavage during caspase-mediated apoptosis, and may play a role in regulating the apoptotic events in the dying cell.

About Storage Conditions

All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity. We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
