STK32C polyclonal antibody

The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins on serine and threonine residues is an essential means of regulating a broad range of cellular functions in eukaryotes, including cell division, homeostasis and apoptosis. A group of proteins that are intimately involved in this process are the serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) protein kinases. STK32C (serine/threonine kinase 32C), also known as PKE or YANK3, is a 486 amino acid protein belonging to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. It contains one protein kinase domain and, using magnesium as a cofactor, STK32C catalyzes the conversion of ATP to ADP while transferring a phosphate to its target protein. Due to alternative splicing events, two isoforms exist for STK32C.
