{"product_id":"nsj-v5625-20ug","title":"Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Antibody \/ ALK, 20 ug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe wild-type anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein is a 200kDa transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase. Its expression is restricted to a few scattered cells in the nervous system (some glial cells and neurons, and a few endothelial cells and pericytes. The hybrid gene, NPM-ALK, created by the t(2;5)(p23;q35) chromosomal translocation encodes part of the nucleolar phosphoprotein, nucleophosmin (NPM), joined to the entire cytoplasmic portion of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) receptor tyrosine kinase. As a consequence, the ALK gene comes under the control of the NPM promoter, which induces a permanent and ubiquitous transcription of the NPM-ALK hybrid gene, resulting in the production of a 80kDa NPM-ALK chimeric protein. This translocation is found in anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL). Reportedly, expression of ALK indicates a better prognosis. Approximately 5%-10% of non-small cell lung carcinomas also express ALK protein producing a cytoplasmic staining pattern. This MAb also reacts with blood vessels that serves as an internal positive control.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":51548366995736,"sku":"V5625-20UG","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5652\/1400\/files\/get_image_6132e044-4b5b-45ea-ad91-d9963712bd85.jpg?v=1768279017","url":"https:\/\/danabiosci.com\/products\/nsj-v5625-20ug","provider":"Dana Bioscience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
