Anti-protein kinase D1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the PRKD1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 912 amino acid residues and a mass of 101.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane, Golgi, and cytoplasm. A member of the CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase protein family, it is known to be involved with angiogenesis and the apoptotic pathway. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Congenital heart defects and ectodermal dysplasia. Other names for this target antigen include PKC-MU, PKCM, PKD, PRKCM, serine/threonine-protein kinase D1, nPKC-D1, nPKC-mu, and CHDED. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Over 320 citations in the literature describe the use of protein kinase D1 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
