Rabbit anti-Human PBK Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q96KB5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PBK

Target Full Name

Lymphokine-activated killer T-cell-originated protein kinase

Target Function

Phosphorylates MAP kinase p38. Seems to be active only in mitosis. May also play a role in the activation of lymphoid cells. When phosphorylated, forms a complex with TP53, leading to TP53 destabilization and attenuation of G2/M checkpoint during doxorubicin-induced DNA damage.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family, MAP kinase kinase subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the testis and placenta. In the testis, restrictedly expressed in outer cell layer of seminiferous tubules.

Target Background

This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase related to the dual specific mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) family. Evidence suggests that mitotic phosphorylation is required for its catalytic activity. The encoded protein may be involved in the activation of lymphoid cells and support testicular functions, with a suggested role in the process of spermatogenesis. Overexpression of this gene has been implicated in tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
