Anti-MST4 / STK26 / MASK

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Serine/threonine-protein kinase 26 is a member of the GCK group III family of kinases, which are a subset of the Ste20-like kinases. The encoded protein contains an amino-terminal kinase domain, and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain that mediates homodimerization. The protein kinase localizes to the Golgi apparatus and is specifically activated by binding to the Golgi matrix protein GM130. It is also cleaved by caspase-3 in vitro, and may function in the apoptotic pathway. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. Protein function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts as a mediator of cell growth (PubMed:11641781, PubMed:17360971). Modulates apoptosis (PubMed:11641781, PubMed:17360971). In association with STK24 negatively regulates Golgi reorientation in polarized cell migration upon RHO activation (PubMed:27807006). Phosphorylates ATG4B at 'Ser- 383', thereby increasing autophagic flux (PubMed:29232556). [The UniProt Consortium]
