Based on the antigen sequence, this antibody is not expected to recognize choline kinase Î².\nSpecies Reactivity: Human, Monkey\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nMonoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro85 of human choline kinase Î± protein.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nCholine kinase (ChoK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of choline, a key step in the biosynthesis of the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylcholine. At least three ChoK isoforms exist in mammalian cells, Î±-1, Î±-2, and Î². The two Î± isoforms are transcribed from the same gene as splice variants, while the Î² isoform resides on a separate gene (reviewed in 1). Research studies indicate that ChoKÎ± levels affect signaling through MAPK and Akt pathways (2,3). Investigators have shown that ChoKÎ± plays a role in proliferation and carcinogenesis and is highly expressed\/activated in human cancers (4-7). Additional research studies suggest ChoKÎ± may be a potential target for cancer therapy (8).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nCHETK-alpha; CHK; CHKA; Choline kinase alpha; CK; CKI; EK; Ethanolamine kinase\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 50\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797593641129,"sku":"13422T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-13422t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
