**Background of PAK6 Antibody**
The p21-activated kinase 6 (PAK6) is a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the PAK family, which comprises six members divided into two groups (Group I: PAK1-3; Group II: PAK4-6). PAK6. encoded by the *PAK6* gene, is primarily regulated by binding to Rho-family GTPases like Cdc42 and Rac. It plays roles in cytoskeletal reorganization, cell motility, transcriptional regulation, and signaling pathways, including MAPK and Wnt/β-catenin cascades. PAK6 is highly expressed in the brain, testes, and prostate, and has been implicated in neurological disorders, cancer progression, and androgen receptor signaling.
PAK6-specific antibodies are essential tools for studying its expression, localization, and function in physiological and pathological contexts. These antibodies are commonly validated for applications such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP). Due to structural similarities among PAK family members, high specificity is critical to avoid cross-reactivity. Researchers use PAK6 antibodies to explore its roles in diseases like prostate cancer, where it may promote metastasis or therapy resistance, and neurodegenerative conditions. Reliable antibodies enable the identification of PAK6 as a potential therapeutic target or biomarker in precision medicine.
