Rabbit anti-Human CSNK1E Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P49674

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CSNK1E

Target Full Name

Casein kinase I isoform epsilon

Target Function

Casein kinases are operationally defined by their preferential utilization of acidic proteins such as caseins as substrates. Can phosphorylate a large number of proteins. Participates in Wnt signaling. Phosphorylates DVL1 and DVL2. Central component of the circadian clock. In balance with PP1, determines the circadian period length, through the regulation of the speed and rhythmicity of PER1 and PER2 phosphorylation. Controls PER1 and PER2 nuclear transport and degradation. Inhibits cytokine-induced granuloytic differentiation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, CK1 Ser/Thr protein kinase family, Casein kinase I subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in all tissues examined, including brain, heart, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, placenta and skeletal muscle. Expressed in monocytes and lymphocytes but not in granulocytes.

Target Research Area

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase and a member of the casein kinase I protein family, whose members have been implicated in the control of cytoplasmic and nuclear processes, including DNA replication and repair. The encoded protein is found in the cytoplasm as a monomer and can phosphorylate a variety of proteins, including itself. This protein has been shown to phosphorylate period, a circadian rhythm protein. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
