Source/Purification	Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro67 of human PLK2 protein.
Background	At least five distinct polo-like kinases exist in mammalian cells: PLK1, PLK2, PLK3, PLK4/SAK, and the non-catalytic PLK5 protein (1). The p53-induced PLK2 functions in centriole duplication, as well as at spindle and S phase checkpoints (3-5). Research studies show that PLK2 expression is related to chemosensitivity in ovarian cancer. Downregulation of PLK2 expression in chemosensitive ovarian cancer cells is associated with a greater chance of relapse in patients following specific treatment regimens (6). PLK2 can phosphorylate α-synuclein at Ser129, which is a site shown to be involved in diseases of the central nervous system (7,8). Polo-like kinase 2 also phosphorylates GEFs and GAPs, regulating Ras and Rap small GTPase function in neurons (9).
