Anti-PLK-4 Antibody, clone 6H5

109 kDa observed

Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK4 (PLK-4) is a member of the protein kinase superfamily and plays an essential role in centriole duplication. PLK-4 triggers procentriole formation on the surface of the parental centriole cylinder, leading to the recruitment of centriole biogenesis proteins. It may be involved in tumorigenesis since centrosome aberrations are frequently observed in tumors. PLK-4 may also be involved in trophoblast differentiation by phosphorylating HAND1, leading to the disruption between HAND1 and MDFIC and then activating HAND1.

Linear peptide corresponding to Human PLK-4.
