Verification Images

  • Experimental Validation Results for ROCK2 Antibody (YA1667)
    Western blot analysis of extracts from Hela (lane 2(20μg), MCF-7 (lane 3(20μg), A549 (lane 4(20μg), using ROCK2 Antibody. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% BSA in TBST for 2 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody and Loading control antibody (Beta Actin, HY-P80438, 1/3000) was used in 5% BSA in TBST at 4°C overnight. Goat Anti-Mouse/Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (HY-P8004/HY-P8001, 1/10,000) was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Experimental Validation Results for ROCK2 Antibody (YA1667)
    Immunocytochemistry analysis of Hela cells labeling ROCK2 with ROCK2 Antibody (HY-P81922) at 1/50 dilution. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with ROCK2 Antibody (HY-P81922)at 1/50 dilution in QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining at 4 ℃. Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L(HY-P8002,Green) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

Background

  • Function

    ROCK2 (Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 2) is a serine/threonine kinase that functions as a major downstream effector of Rho GTPases and regulates cytokinesis, smooth muscle contraction, actin stress fiber formation, focal adhesion dynamics, and transcriptional responses linked to cytoskeletal remodeling[1][2]. Mechanistically, ROCK2 promotes actomyosin contractility through signaling networks that control actin organization, cell morphology, migration, proliferation, adhesion, and inflammatory responses, placing it at the center of cytoskeleton-dependent cellular regulation[3][5]. Because these processes govern tissue homeostasis and cellular adaptation, dysregulated ROCK signaling has been implicated in cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, inflammatory, and cancer-associated pathologies[3][2]. In experimental disease models, ROCK2 has been identified as an important regulator of neuronal survival, axonal stability after injury, and regenerative responses, supporting its utility for studying neurodegeneration and neural repair mechanisms[4]. Compared with the closely related isoform ROCK1, ROCK2 shares high homology within the kinase domain but exhibits distinct tissue distribution and isoform-specific biological functions, highlighting the importance of discriminating ROCK2-dependent signaling from broader ROCK activity in mechanistic studies[3][2]. For experimental applications, pharmacological inhibition of ROCK signaling is widely used to interrogate cytoskeletal regulation and disease-associated pathways, and the development of isoform-selective inhibitors has increased interest in defining ROCK2-specific functions with greater precision[2]>.
