Anti-PTK7 (Protein Tyrosine Kinase 7, Colon Carcinoma Kinase 4, CCK-4, Tyrosine-protein Kinase-like

Receptor protein tyrosine kinases transduce extracellular signals across the cell membrane. A subgroup of these kinases lack detectable catalytic tyrosine kinase activity but retain roles in signal transduction. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of this subgroup of tyrosine kinases and may function as a cell adhesion molecule. This gene is thought to be expressed in colon carcinomas but not in normal colon, and therefore may be a marker for or may be involved in tumor progression. Four transcript variants encoding four different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq], Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunofluorescence and Western Blot.
