Recombinant Human Serine/threonine-protein kinase A-Raf (ARAF)

Uniprot Id

P10398

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ARAF

Target Full Name

Serine/threonine-protein kinase A-Raf

Target Function

Involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. May also regulate the TOR signaling cascade.; Serves as a positive regulator of myogenic differentiation by inducing cell cycle arrest, the expression of myogenin and other muscle-specific proteins, and myotube formation.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family, RAF subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Predominantly in urogenital tissues.

Target Background

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process; regulation of TOR signaling; and regulation of cellular protein metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol and mitochondrion. Biomarker of high grade glioma.
