Anti-CCK4 (PTK7), NT (PTK7, CCK4, Inactive tyrosine-protein kinase 7, Colon carcinoma kinase 4, Prot

CCK4 may function as a cell adhesion molecule. Although it belongs to the insuline receptor subfamily of the Tyr protein kinases, it likely lacks the catalytic activity of a tyrosine kinase. It may be connected to the pathophysiology of colon carcinomas and/or may represent a tumor progression marker. This Type I membrane protein is highly expressed in lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, placenta and melanocytes, but weakly expressed in thyroid gland, ovary, brain, heart and skeletal muscle, and not in colon. It is also expressed in erythroleukemia cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Flow Cytometry, FLISA. Other applications not tested.
