MELK, Human (His)

MELK is a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates the cell cycle, stem cell self-renewal, apoptosis, and splicing. MELK phosphorylates BCL2L14, CDC25B, MAP3K5/ASK1 and ZNF622, activates apoptosis through MAP3K5/ASK1, helps CDC25B localize during mitosis, and inhibits BCL2L14, which may affect breast cancer occurrence. MELK Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived MELK protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.
