Catalog Number: (10372-494)

Supplier: Bioss

Description: This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays an important role in cellular stress response. This kinase activates certain potassium, sodium, and chloride channels, suggesting an involvement in the regulation of processes such as cell survival, neuronal excitability, and renal sodium excretion. High levels of expression of this gene may contribute to conditions such as hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]

Catalog Number: (10372-454)

Supplier: Bioss

Description: Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase involved in numerous cellular mechanisms including cell proliferation, neuronal navigation, cell migration, and cell differentiation upon binding with glial cell derived neurotrophic factor family ligands. Phosphorylates PTK2/FAK1. Regulates both cell death/survival balance and positional information. Required for the molecular mechanisms orchestration during intestine organogenesis; involved in the development of enteric nervous system and renal organogenesis during embryonic life, and promotes the formation of Peyer's patch-like structures, a major component of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. Modulates cell adhesion via its cleavage by caspase in sympathetic neurons and mediates cell migration in an integrin (e.g. ITGB1 and ITGB3)-dependent manner. Involved in the development of the neural crest. Active in the absence of ligand, triggering apoptosis through a mechanism that requires receptor intracellular caspase cleavage. Acts as a dependence receptor; in the presence of the ligand GDNF in somatotrophs (within pituitary), promotes survival and down regulates growth hormone (GH) production, but triggers apoptosis in absence of GDNF. Regulates nociceptor survival and size. Triggers the differentiation of rapidly adapting (RA) mechanoreceptors. Mediator of several diseases such as neuroendocrine cancers; these diseases are characterized by aberrant integrins-regulated cell migration.

Supplier: Bioss

Description: The membrane-bound isoform 1 is a receptor involved in the development of the cardiovascular system, in angiogenesis, in the formation of certain neuronal circuits and in organogenesis outside the nervous system. It mediates the chemorepulsant activity of semaphorins. It binds to semaphorin 3A, The PLGF-2 isoform of PGF, The VEGF-165 isoform of VEGF and VEGF-B. Coexpression with KDR results in increased VEGF-165 binding to KDR as well as increased chemotaxis. It may regulate VEGF-induced angiogenesis. The soluble isoform 2 binds VEGF-165 and appears to inhibit its binding to cells. It may also induce apoptosis by sequestering VEGF-165. May bind as well various members of the semaphorin family. Its expression has an averse effect on blood vessel number and integrity.

Catalog Number: (10243-950)

Supplier: Bioss

Description: This intronless gene encodes a 70kDa heat shock protein which is a member of the heat shock protein 70 family. In conjuction with other heat shock proteins, this protein stabilizes existing proteins against aggregation and mediates the folding of newly translated proteins in the cytosol and in organelles. It is also involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway through interaction with the AU-rich element RNA-binding protein 1. The gene is located in the major histocompatibility complex class III region, in a cluster with two closely related genes which encode similar proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

Catalog Number: (10250-234)

Supplier: Bioss

Description: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ser/thr protein kinase family. It is the catalytic subunit of the 5'-prime-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a cellular energy sensor conserved in all eukaryotic cells. The kinase activity of AMPK is activated by the stimuli that increase the cellular AMP/ATP ratio. AMPK regulates the activities of a number of key metabolic enzymes through phosphorylation. It protects cells from stresses that cause ATP depletion by switching off ATP-consuming biosynthetic pathways. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.

Description: Proper nucleosome assembly is critical for compacting DNA into chromatin. In human and mouse there are 5 protein-coding genes which comprise the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) family. NAP1L1 (NAP1) and NAP1L4 (NAP2) are ubiquitously expressed family members which have been the most extensively studied. The remaining three family members, NAP1L2, NAP1L3 and NAP1L5 are neuron-specific nucleosome assembly proteins translated from intronless genes which are monoallelically expressed. NAP1L2 (nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 2), also known as BPX (brain specific protein, X-linked), is a 460 amino acid protein containing acidic domains which are thought to mediate histone interactions. NAP1L2 binds to chromatin and interacts with Histones H3 and H4. The function of NAP1L2 is not clearly defined although evidence suggests that NAP1L2 influences histone acetylation and therefore may play a significant role in regulating transcription in developing neurons.

Description: Proto-oncogene AF-4 (or FEL) is a product of a chromosomal aberration of the human gene AFF1, which is associated with acute leukemias. The fusion of AF-4 on chromosome band 4q21 with the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL or HRX) gene on 11q23 results in a MLL-AF-4 chimeric transcription factor in which AF-4 contributes transcriptional effector properties and requires cell-specific accessory factors. MLL is involved in several chromosomal translocations associated with acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemia. The MLL-AF-4 fusion protein is expressed in all normal hematopoietic cells. The expression of MLL-AF-4 influences the production of protein cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKN1B), suggesting that inhibition of MLL-AF-4 expression may be a powerful and highly specific treatment of chemotherapy-resistant leukemia.

Description: Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Involved in embryonic lens fiber cell development. Recruits the transcriptional coactivators CREBBP and/or EP300 to crystallin promoters leading to up-regulation of crystallin gene during lens fiber cell differentiation. Activates the expression of IL4 in T helper 2 (Th2) cells. Increases T-cell susceptibility to apoptosis by interacting with MYB and decreasing BCL2 expression. Together with PAX6, transactivates strongly the glucagon gene promoter through the G1 element. Activates transcription of the CD13 proximal promoter in endothelial cells. Represses transcription of the CD13 promoter in early stages of myelopoiesis by affecting the ETS1 and MYB cooperative interaction.
