Abltide

Ref. 3D-CRB1001137

Product Information

• Name: Abltide
• Synonyms: H-KKGEAIYAAPFA-NH2
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Abltide represents the optimal substrate peptide of Abl (or c-Abl), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase (NRTK) and the oncogenic Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase (TK) (formed via a fusion between the Abelson (Abl) TK gene and the break point cluster region protein Brc). Abl was discovered as the gene from which the Abelson leukaemia virus derived its Gag-v-Abl oncogene.TKs are critical enzymes involved in multiple signalling pathways. However, Tks can promote cancer progression when deregulated, for example deregulated TK, Bcr-Abl gives rise to chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphocytic leukaemia (Ph+ ALL).Abl is activated by various signals including: growth factors, cytokines, cell adhesion, DNA damage and oxidative stress and results in the stimulation of both pro- and anti-apoptotic roles, cell proliferation or differentiation, retraction, or migration. Abl phosphorylates a large number of functionally diverse substrates, in part due to its ability to shuttle between the cytosol and the nucleus and bind both DNA and actin&mdash-two biopolymers with fundamental roles in almost all biological processes.
