Specificity / Sensitivity
GCK Antibody detects endogenous levels of total GCK protein. This antibody does not cross-react with HPK or other members of the GCK family.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ser380 of human GCK. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Germinal center kinase (GCK) is the founding member of the GCK family, a group of serine/threonine kinases homologous to the yeast Ste20 kinase. GCK is activated by TNF and associated with TRAF2 (TNF receptor-associated factor 2) and MEKK1, thereby activating the SAPK/JNK pathway (1,2). GCK does not significantly phosphorylate MEKK1, instead it enhances MEKK1 oligomerization and autophosphorylation (3). GCK binds and activates MLK3, indicating that GCK may have other effectors (3).
