Product Name: PRPF4B (844-858) pT847+pY849+pS852+pY855
Product Number: PE-04AXC75
Size:      $US
Peptide Name: PRPF4B (844-858) pT847+pY849+pS852+pY855

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. T847 and Y849 phosphorylation stimulate phosphotransferase activity. S852 and Y855 phosphorylation are predicted to be inhibitory for phosphotransferase activity.

Scientific Background: PRPF4B (PRP4) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CMGC group and DYRK family. It is known to regulate pre-mRNA splicing. Identified substrates for PRPF4B include splicing factors SF2, PRPF6, and PRPF31 as well as the KLF13 and Elk1 transcription factors. The enzymatic activity of PRP4 is required for viability of pancreatic, colon and large B-cell lymphoma cancer cell lines (PubMed: 24003220). Inhibition of PRP4 activity by shRNAs was shown to resensitize chemoresistant human ovarian and breast cancer to paclitaxel treatment.
