MINK1, GST-tag | 40126 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition

Category: Kinase-Serine/Threonine/Protein

Application: Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling

Background: MINK1 is a member of the germinal center family of kinases that are homologous to the Ste20 family and regulate a wide variety of cellular processes, including cell morphology, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and survival (1). Overexpression of kinase-dead mutants of MINK1 leads to enhanced cell spreading, actin stress fiber formation, adhesion to extracellular matrix and decreased cell motility and invasion. MINK is activated after Ras induction via a mechanism involving reactive oxygen species and mediates stimulation of p38 MAPK downstream of the Raf/ERK pathway (2).

Description: Recombinant human MINK1 (a.a. 1-320), with N-terminal GST-tag, expressed by Sf9 insect cells via a baculovirus expression system.
