Gene Information

human ... MELK(9833)

General description

Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) is a serine/threonine kinase that exists in bi-lobal conformation. Structurally, MELK comprises an N-terminal catalytic domain, ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain, and a kinase domain. The MELK gene is mapped to human chromosome location 9p13.2.The MELK antibody detects endogenous levels of total MELK protein.

Immunogen

Peptide sequence around aa. 626-630 (I-R-R-Q-R), according to the protein NP_055606.1

Application

Anti-MELK antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting at a dilution of 1:1000.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) participates in cell cycle regulation by interacting with cell cycle proteins. It may have a role in malignant cell survival and cancer stem cell growth. An elevated expression of MELK is observed in triple-negative breast cancer, glioblastoma multiforme(GBM), and astrocytomas.

Features and Benefits

Target description

Phosphorylates ZNF622 and may contribute to its redirection to the nucleus. May be involved in the inhibition of spliceosome assembly during mitosis.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol

We have performed cDNA microarray analyses to identify gene expression differences between highly invasive glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and typically benign pilocytic astrocytomas (PA). Despite the significant clinical and pathological differences between the 2 tumor types, only 63 genes were found
