MAP4K4 blocking peptide
MAP4K4 Peptide - N-terminal region
Target Description: MAP4K4 is the serine/threonine kinase that may play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines such as TNF-alpha. MAP4K4 appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. This kinase has been shown to specifically activate MAPK8/JNK. The activation of MAPK8 by this kinase is found to be inhibited by the dominant-negative mutants of MAP3K7/TAK1, MAP2K4/MKK4, and MAP2K7/MKK7, which suggests that this kinase may function through the MAP3K7-MAP2K4-MAP2K7 kinase cascade, and mediate the TNF-alpha signaling pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Uniprot Description
HGK: a Ser/Thr kinase of the STE20 subfamily. May play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines such as TNF-alpha. May interact with the SH3 domain of the adapter proteins Nck. Binds, via its CNH regulatory domain, to the N- terminal region of SPG3A. Upregulated in primary tumors and tumor cell lines. Required for anchorage-independent growth and ras-dependent focus formation in multiple cell lines. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The MAP4K4 map4k4 (Catalog #AAA3234257) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's MAP4K4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAP4K4 map4k4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MAP4K4, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
