Recombinant Human DCAMKL1 Protein

DCAMKL1; also known as DCLK1; is a member of the protein kinase superfamily and the doublecortin family. It contains two N-terminal doublecortin domains; which bind microtubules and regulate microtubule polymerization; a C-terminal serine/threonine protein kinase domain; which shows substantial homology to Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase; and a serine/proline-rich domain in between the doublecortin and the protein kinase domains; which mediates multiple protein-protein interactions. DCAMKL1 is involved in several different cellular processes; including neuronal migration; retrograde transport; neuronal apoptosis and neurogenesis. Its microtubule-polymerizing activity is independent of its protein kinase activity. DCAMKL1 may be involved in a calcium-signaling pathway controlling neuronal migration in the developing brain. It may also participate in functions of the mature nervous system.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
