DescriptionAnti-WNK3 Antibody
Alternate Names

  • serine/threonine-protein kinase WNK3
  • Protein kinase with no lysine 3
  • Protein kinase lysine-deficient 3
  • protein kinase, lysine deficient 3
Background InformationWNK3 is a serine-threonine protein kinase and expressed throughout the nephron, but most commonly at intercellular junctions. In its active state, it is a promoter of NKCC2 and NCC activity. The opposite is true of WNK3 when in an inactive state. WNK3 changes the expression of these transporters in the membrane and is thought to be a regulator of blood pressure along with other members of the WNK family of protein kinases. In recent research, WNK3 has also been linked to regulating signaling cascades involved in tumorigenesis.

Antibody TypePolyclonal Antibody
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a protein belonging to the 'with no lysine' family of serine-threonine protein kinases. These family members lack the catalytic lysine in subdomain II, and instead have a conserved lysine in subdomain I. This family member functions as a positive regulator of the transcellular Ca2+ transport pathway, and it plays a role in the increase of cell survival in a caspase-3-dependent pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq].

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryCATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. UniProtKB Q9H4A3

COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity). UniProtKB Q9H4A3

ENZYME REGULATION: Activation requires autophosphorylation of Ser-308. Phosphorylation of Ser-304 also promotes increased activity By similarity. UniProtKB Q9JIH7

TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain, lung, kidney, liver and pancreas, and in fetal tissues including placenta, fetal brain, lung and kidney. Very low levels of expression were also detected in fetal heart, thymus, liver and spleen.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WNK subfamily.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

CAUTION: Cys-176 is present instead of the conserved Lys which is expected to be an active site residue. Lys-159 appears to fulfill the required catalytic function. UniProtKB Q9JIH7
Molecular Weight~220 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands appear at ~52 and 60 kDa.
