Host:
Rabbit
Clonality:
Polyclonal
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
Purification:
Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
Formulation:
Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
Storage:

Target
Function:
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine kinase involved in multiple cellular signaling pathways that trigger cell survival, apoptosis, and autophagy. Capable of regulating both type I apoptotic and type II autophagic cell death signals. The former involves caspase activation, chromatin and mitochondrial condensation while the latter involves caspase-independent cell death in conjunction with accumulation of mature autophagic vesicles, plasma membrane blebs, and nuclear condensation without DNA degradation. Mediator of anoikis and a suppressor of beta-catenin-dependent anchorage-independent growth of malignant epithelial cells. May play a role in granulocytic maturation (By similarity). Regulates granulocytes motility by controlling cell spreading and polarization (PubMed:24163421).
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in peritubular interstitial cells of the renal cortex (PubMed:24906443). Isoform 1 is found in the ***** brain while isoform 2 is expressed in brains of embryos and young mice (at protein level) (PubMed:21408167).
Sequence Similarities:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. DAP kinase subfamily.
Post-Translational Modification:
Autophosphorylation at Ser-318 inhibits its catalytic activity. Dephosphorylated at Ser-318 in response to activated Fas and TNF-alpha receptors.
