Expression Region:

88-579aa

Subcellular Location:

Secreted, Golgi apparatus

Tissue Specificity:

Highly expressed in the tooth. No expression in the dental pulp. At the secretory stage of amelogenesis, it is detected in the matrix of the enamel, in the ameloblasts, and within the cells adjoining the stratum intermedium (a tissue layer analogous to the stellate reticulum seen in the developing molar). Strong expression is observed in maturation stage ameloblasts and throughout the non-cornified layers of the gingival epithelium. Expressed at moderate levels in bone and at low levels in kidney, liver, brain and lung. Very low expression, if any, in spleen and skeletal muscle.

Protein Length:

Full Length of Mature Protein

Pathway:

Mol. Weight:

60.4 kDa

Purity:

Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Form:

Liquid or Lyophilized powder

Buffer:

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Research Areas:

Others

Function:

Golgi serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates secretory pathway proteins within Ser-x-Glu/pSer motifs and plays a key role in biomineralization of bones and teeth

Involvement in disease:

Relevance:

Golgi serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates secretory pathway proteins within Ser-x-Glu/pSer motifs and plays a key role in biomineralization of bones and teeth. Constitutes the main protein kinase for extracellular proteins, generating the majority of the extracellular phosphoproteome. Mainly phosphorylates proteins within the Ser-x-Glu/pSer motif, but also displays a broader substrate specificity. Phosphorylates casein as well as a number of proteins involved in biomineralization such as AMELX, AMTN, ENAM and SPP1. In addition to its role in biomineralization, also plays a role in lipid homeostasis, wound healing and cell migration and adhesion

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
