CLK4 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

CDC like kinase 4 (CLK4) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CDC2-like protein kinase (CLK) family. This protein kinase can interact with and phosphorylate the serine- and arginine-rich (SR) proteins, which are known to play an important role in the formation of spliceosomes, and thus may be involved in the regulation of alternative splicing. Studies in the Israeli sand rat Psammomys obesus suggested that the ubiquitin-like 5 (UBL5/BEACON), a highly conserved ubiquitin-like protein, may interact with and regulate the activity of this kinase. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but the full-length natures of which have not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein., function:Phosphorylates serine- and arginine-rich (SR) proteins of the spliceosomal complex may be a constituent of a network of regulatory mechanisms that enable SR proteins to control RNA splicing. Phosphorylates serines, threonines and tyrosines. Required for the regulation of alternative splicing of MAPT/TAU., PTM:Autophosphorylates on all three types of residues., similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Lammer subfamily., similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain., subunit:Interacts with UBL5., tissue specificity:Expressed in liver, kidney, heart, muscle and brain.
