It localizes mainly in the Golgi apparatus. Scientists detect VLK expression across various tissues including the heart testis and liver. This kinase executes post-translational modifications by phosphorylating intracellular proteins which can modulate their functions and interactions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nVLK kinase activity impacts protein folding and trafficking within the Golgi apparatus. VLK associates with protein complexes involved in secretory pathways assisting cellular functions like protein secretion and cell surface expression. Research indicates that it contributes significantly to maintaining cellular homeostasis by ensuring proper protein maturation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nVLK plays a role in the secretory pathway which is essential for the transport and delivery of proteins and lipids throughout the cell. It shows interactions with proteins like ABCD3 and VCP that are pivotal in vesicular transport and protein quality control. VLK also participates in the RAS signaling pathway linking it to cell growth and differentiation by affecting downstream targets.\u003cbr\u003e\nRecent studies highlight VLK's involvement with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Altered VLK activity correlates with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease where phosphorylation imbalances disrupt neuron function. In cancer VLK is overexpressed leading to misregulated cell proliferation. Connections to proteins like tau and LATS1 further demonstrate VLK's relevance in these diseases influencing both progression and therapeutic targeting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843933884585,"sku":"ab131683","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab131683","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
