For maximum recovery please spin prior to use. Unless noted below, aliquots of the 5 µg, 10 µg and 20 µg sizes of kinase are not recommended as materials can be used in original packaging until exhausted. For larger sizes, the number of freeze/thaws may be reduced by preparing aliquots, aliquots below 20 µL are not recommended. Please never store a kinase diluted. If properly stored at -80C, this product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase.
Protein Form: Catalytic
CDC42BPA (MRCKA) is a serine/threonine kinase which functions in actin cytoskeleton assembly and organization. Three independent coiled-coil domains and the N-terminal region preceding the kinase domain are responsible for intermolecular interactions leading to MRCK alpha multimerization. The transautophosphorylation process is critical for regulation of MRCK alpha catalytic activities. Binding of phorbol esters to MRCK releases its autoinhibition, allowing N-terminal dimerization and subsequent kinase activation.
