Rabbit Anti-MAP4K5/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Several mammalian kinases have been identified with sequence similarity to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae serine/threonine kinase STE20. STE20 is involved in relaying signals from G-protein coupled receptors to cytosolic MAP kinase cascades, and it lies upstream of a MAP kinase kinase kinase. Mammalian STE20-like kinases include KHS, GLK, NIK, YSK1, HPK1, Krs-1, Krs-2 and GC kinase. KHS (for kinase homologous to SPS1/STE20) is a protein that is most closely related to GC kinase. The KHS kinase has been shown to activate a variety of substrates, including JNK, suggesting a role in stress response.
Function:
MAP4K5, a member of the STE20 subfamily of Ser/Thr protein kinases, may play a role in the response to environmental stress. It appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. MAP4K5 interacts with both SH3 domains of the adapter proteins CRK and CRKL. This cytoplasmic protein is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues examined, with high levels in the ovary, testis and prostate.
