Human CD246/ALK Recombinant Protein (N-His) (GXRP03072)

Human CD246/ALK Recombinant Protein (N-His)

Human CD246/ALK Recombinant Protein (N-His) is a recombinant protein expressed in E. coli, spanning Met1348-Ser1611, with an N-terminal His tag. Predicted molecular weight: 31.03 kDa. Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Supplied lyophilized from a solution in PBS pH 7.4, 0.02% NLS, 1 mM EDTA, 4% Trehalose, 1% Mannitol. Applications: ELISA, immunogen, SDS-PAGE and Western blot. ALK tyrosine kinase receptor (CD246) is a ~176 kDa protein. Neuronal receptor tyrosine kinase that is essentially and transiently expressed in specific regions of the central and peripheral nervous systems and plays an important role in the genesis and differentiation of the nervous system. For research use only.

Also acts as a key thinness protein involved in the resistance to weight gain: in hypothalamic neurons, controls energy expenditure acting as a negative regulator of white adipose tissue lipolysis and sympathetic tone to fine-tune energy homeostasis. Following activation by ALKAL2 ligand at the cell surface, transduces an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. In contrast, ALKAL1 is not a potent physiological ligand for ALK. Ligand-binding to the extracellular domain induces tyrosine kinase activation, leading to activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.
