Description

• The recommended shelf life for this product is 1 year from date of receipt
• Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from a phosphate donor, generally the g phosphate of ATP, onto an acceptor amino acid in a substrate protein
• By this basic mechanism, protein kinases mediate most of the signal transduction in eukaryotic cells, regulating cellular metabolism, transcription, cell cycle progression, cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell movement, apoptosis, and differentiation
• With more than 500 gene products, the protein kinase family is one of the largest families of proteins in eukaryotes
• The family has been classified in 8 major groups based on sequence comparison of their tyrosine (PTK) or serine/threonine (STK) kinase catalytic domains
• The tyrosine kinase (TK) group is mainly involved in the regulation of cell-cell interactions such as differentiation, adhesion, motility and death
• There are currently about 90 TK genes sequenced, 58 are of receptor protein TK (e.g
• EGFR, EPH, FGFR, PDGFR, TRK, and VEGFR families), and 32 of cytosolic TK (e.g
• ABL, FAK, JAK, and SRC families).
