STK38 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the AGC serine/threonine kinase family of proteins. The kinase activity of this protein is regulated by autophosphorylation and phosphorylation by other upstream kinases. This protein has been shown to function in the cell cycle and apoptosis. This protein has also been found to regulate the protein stability and transcriptional activity of the MYC oncogene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

NDR1: is an AGC kinase of the NDR family. An apparent upstream regulator of Myc activity in human B-cell lymphoma. Mediates apoptosis downstream of the tumor suppressor proteins RASSF1A and MST1. Reduced expression of NDR1 results in defective apoptotic responses and a predisposition to develop T cell lymphoma in mice. Activated by binding of S100B which releases autoinhibitory N-lobe interactions. Ubiquitously expressed with highest levels observed in peripheral blood leukocytes.
