SKU:: 363803
Application:: WB
Purity:: Purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Recombinant protein corresponding to Leu368-Leu625 of mouse ITK expressed in E. coli.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in 0.01M PBS, pH 7.4, 0.05% Proclin-300, 50% glycerol.
Extra Details:: A single 6.2kb mRNA and 72kD protein were detected in T lymphocytes and NK-like cell lines, but were not detected in other cell lineages. Sequence comparisons suggested that the protein is probably the human homolog of a murine interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK). However, unlike ITK, the message and protein levels for the new entity did not vary markedly on stimulation of human IL-2 responsive T cells with IL-2. They referred to the gene and its protein product as EMT. They concluded that EMT is a member of a new family of intracellular kinases that includes BPK. The expression of EMT message and protein in thymocytes and mature T cells, combined with its homology to BPK and its chromosomal localization, suggested that EMT may play a role in thymic ontogeny and growth regulation of mature T cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
