Anti-Caseine Kinase 1 alpha/CSNK1A1 Antibody Picoband® (APC Conjugate)

Casein kinase I isoform alpha?is an?enzyme?that in humans is encoded by the?CSNK1A1?gene. The?CSNK1A1?gene is mapped to chromosome 5q32 based on an alignment of the?CSNK1A1?sequence with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). It is reported that both screens identified CK1-alpha as a bifunctional regulator of NF-kappa-B. CK1-alpha dynamically associates with the CBM complex on T cell receptor engagement to participate in cytokine production and lymphocyte proliferation. However, CK1-alpha kinase activity has a contrasting role by subsequently promoting the phosphorylation and inactivation of CARMA1. CK1-alpha has thus a dual 'gating' function which first promotes and then terminates receptor-induced NF-kappa-B. ABC DLBCL cells required CK1-alpha for constitutive NF-kappa-B activity, indicating that CK1-alpha functions as a conditionally essential malignancy gene.?

Casein kinases are operationally defined by their preferential utilization of acidic proteins such as caseins as substrates. It can phosphorylate a large number of proteins. Participates in Wnt signaling. Phosphorylates CTNNB1 at 'Ser-45'. May phosphorylate PER1 and PER2. May play a role in segregating chromosomes during mitosis (PubMed:11955436, PubMed:1409656, PubMed:18305108). May play a role in keratin cytoskeleton disassembly and thereby, it may regulate epithelial cell migration (PubMed:23902688). .
