General description

Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK4 (PLK-4) is a member of the protein kinase superfamily and plays an essential role in centriole duplication. PLK-4 triggers procentriole formation on the surface of the parental centriole cylinder, leading to the recruitment of centriole biogenesis proteins. It may be involved in tumorigenesis since centrosome aberrations are frequently observed in tumors. PLK-4 may also be involved in trophoblast differentiation by phosphorylating HAND1, leading to the disruption between HAND1 and MDFIC and then activating HAND1.

Immunogen

Linear peptide corresponding to Human PLK-4.

Application

Detect Polo Like Kinase (PLK) using this mouse monoclonal antibody, Anti-PLK-4 Antibody, clone 6H5 validated for use in western blotting, ICC & IP.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected PLK-4 in U20S cell lysates transfected with control and Cep152 siRNA, but not U2OS cell lysates transfected with PLK4 siRNA. (Cizmecioglu, O. et al. (2010). J Cell Biol. 191(4):731-739).
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipitated PLK-4 in HeLa cell lysates cotransfected with Flag-tagged Gcp6 and Myc-tagged Plk-4 (Bahtz, R. et al. (2012). J Cell Sci. 125 (Pt 2): 486-496).
