General description

HIPK2 (homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2) gene encodes a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the homeodomain-interacting protein kinase family and the sub family of dual-specificity Yak1-related kinase proteins. It functions as a co-repressor for homeodomain transcription factors. It contains an interaction domain for homeoproteins, a corepressor domain (CRD), PEST sequence, and a protein kinase domain along with a YH domain in the C terminus. It is localized to nuclear speckles by means of a speckle-retention signal and is covalently modified by the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO-1.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

HIPK2 (homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2) functions as a co-repressor for homeodomain transcription factors. It plays a vital role in the transcriptionaal regulation and apoptosis. During apoptosis induction, it phosphorylates the p53 protein at Ser 46 to facilitate p53-dependent gene expression and subsequent apoptosis. It also controls the activation of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) via TGF-β signaling pathway.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) is a serine/threonine kinase involved in transcriptional regulation and apoptosis. Here we demonstrate that HIPK2 regulates transforming growth factor (TGF) beta-induced c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) activation and apoptosis. HIPK2 colocalizes with Daxx, a protein acting

The serine/threonine kinase HIPK2 phosphorylates the p53 protein at Ser 46, thus promoting p53-dependent gene expression and subsequent apoptosis. Here, we show that DNA damaging chemotherapeutic drugs cause degradation of endogenous HIPK2 dependent on the presence of a functional p53

Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) is a nuclear serine/threonine kinase of the subfamily of dual-specificity Yak1-related kinase proteins. HIPK2 was first described as a homeodomain-interacting protein kinase acting as a corepressor for homeodomain transcription factors. More recently, it was reported
