DLK or mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 12 is a transmembrane protein containing six epidermal growth factor repeats and is a serine/threonine protein kinase. DLK is involved in the differentiation of several cell types, including adipocytes. DLK plays a role of a tumor suppressor protein and is predominately expressed in neuronal cells. DLK as an activator of the Jnk pathway. Overexpression of DLK results in activation of Jnk1 and the accumulation of a hyperphosphorylated form of c-Jun (1). Postnatal loss of DLK in stem cells and niche astrocytes has been shown to regulate neurogenesis (2).

Product Notes
The DLK (Catalog #AAA517197) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Sf9 insect cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's DLK can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Kinase Assay, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the DLK 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 "DLK, Recombinant Protein" 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
