Rabbit anti-Human TLK2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q86UE8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TLK2

Target Full Name

Serine/threonine-protein kinase tousled-like 2

Target Function

Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in the process of chromatin assembly and probably also DNA replication, transcription, repair, and chromosome segregation. Phosphorylates the chromatin assembly factors ASF1A AND ASF1B. Phosphorylation of ASF1A prevents its proteasome-mediated degradation, thereby enhancing chromatin assembly. Negative regulator of amino acid starvation-induced autophagy.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Colocalizes with the cytoplasmic intermediate filament system during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Present in the perinuclear region at S phase and in the nucleus at late G2.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, Ser/Thr protein kinase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Detected in placenta, fetal liver, kidney, pancreas, heart and skeletal muscle. Highly expressed in testis. Detected in spleen, thymus, colon, ovary, small intestine, prostate and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Target Synonyms

MGC44450; PKU alpha; PKU-alpha; Serine/threonine kinase; Serine/threonine protein kinase tousled like 2; Serine/threonine-protein kinase tousled-like 2; TLK 2; tlk2; TLK2_HUMAN; Tousled like kinase 2; Tousled-like kinase 2

Target Background

This gene encodes a nuclear serine/threonine kinase that was first identified in Arabidopsis. The encoded protein is thought to function in the regulation of chromatin assembly in the S phase of the cell cycle by regulating the levels of a histone H3/H4 chaperone. This protein is associated with double-strand break repair of DNA damage caused by radiation. Pseudogenes of this gene are present on chromosomes 10 and 17. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
