Product Number: PE-04AWA01
Size:      $US
Peptide Name: LOK (182-188) pT185

Product Use: This phosphopeptide may be useful as a substrate for screening the phosphatase activity of protein phosphatases. The peptide sequence is located in the protein kinase catalytic domain activation T loop region between subdomains VII and VIII. T185 phosphorylation is predicted to be stimulatory for phosphotransferase activity.

Peptide Origin: Homo sapiens

Peptide Sequence: NLK(pT)LQK

Peptide Modifications N Terminus: Free amino

Peptide Modifications C Terminus: Amide

Peptide Modifications Other: Phosphorylated

Storage Conditions: -20°C

Scientific Background: LOK (STK10) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the STE group and STE20 family. It can control lymphocyte migration via its phosphotransferase activity. LOK has been shown to phosphorylate MSN and has been implicated in phosphorylating Plk1. LOK can negatively regulate MEKK1/MAP3K1, and may also mediate cell cycle progression. A K65I mutation in LOK seen with Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) can induce loss of kinase phosphotransferase activity.
