Rabbit Anti-ICK/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Eukaryotic protein kinases are enzymes that belong to a very extensive family of proteins which share a conserved catalytic core common with both serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinases. This gene encodes an intestinal serine/threonine kinase harboring a dual phosphorylation site found in mitogen-activating protein (MAP) kinases. The protein localizes to the intestinal crypt region and is thought to be important in intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and two variants, encoding the same isoform, have been identified.
Function:
May play a key role in the development of multiple organ systems and particularly in cardiac development.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Note=Nuclear localization has been observed with a GFP-tagged construct in transfected HeLa cells (PubMed:1210372). Cytosolic localization was shown in rat embryonic cardiomyocytes by immunostaining (PubMed:8570168).
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, pancreas, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon, with highest levels in placenta and testis. Not detected in spleen. Also expressed in many cancer cell lines.
Post-translational modifications:
Autophosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. May play a role in enzyme activation.
DISEASE:
Endocrine-cerebroosteodysplasia (ECO) [MIM:612651]: Previously unidentified neonatal lethal recessive disorder with multiple anomalies involving the endocrine, cerebral, and skeletal systems. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC2/CDKX subfamily.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
