Rabbit polyclonal antibody to ILKAP (K71)

ILKAP (integrin~linked kinase~associated serine/threonine phosphatase 2C),also known as PP2Cδ, is a 392 amino acid cytoplasmic protein phosphatase that selectively interacts with integrin linked kinase (ILK) to regulate growth factor signaling and cell adhesion. While widely expressed, ILKAP is found at highest levels in striated muscle with lower levels found in smooth muscle.ILKAP belongs to the PP2C family and contains one PP2C~like domain. ILKAP has been suggested to inhibit oncogenic transformation and the ILK~GSK3βsignaling axis, and can bind two magnesium or manganese ions per subunit as cofactors. The gene encoding ILKAP maps to human chromosome 2,which consists of 237 million bases encoding over 1,400 genes and making up approximately 8% of the human genome.
