Biolegend, 611551, Purified anti-human ALK Antibody, 25μg

ALK is expressed widely in the central nervous system, where it plays important roles in neurogenesis and the development of the nervous system. ALK is a receptor tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates tyrosines on target proteins upon ligand binding (known ligands include pleiotrophin, midkine, FAM150A, and FAM150B). ALK was originally discovered in anaplastic large-cell lymphoma cells where a chromosomal translocation leads to constitutive activation of the ALK kinase domain, making ALK a target of inhibition in cancer therapies.
