Gene Information

human ... MELK(9833)

General description

The maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) is a member of the CAMK serine/threonine protein kinase superfamily. It is expressed at high level in oocytes, spermatogonia and embryos. This gene is mapped to human chromosome 9p13.

Immunogen

MELK (AAH14039, 550 a.a. ~ 650 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) prevents HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) replication. It participates in cell cycle, cytokinesis, mRNA splicing and apoptosis. MELK also plays an important role in the development of germ cells.
