PGP9.5 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Metabolic enzymes EEF2K encodes a highly conserved

EEF2K encodes a highly conserved protein kinase (eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase) in the calmodulin-mediated signaling pathway that links activation of cell surface receptors to cell division

Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy

and this kinase itself can be phoshorylated

elegans counterpart of this gene is found to regulate synaptic vesicle transport possibly by integrating JNK signaling and kinesin-1 transport

PGP9.5 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Metabolic enzymes EEF2K encodes a highly conservedThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the peptidase C12 family. This enzyme is a thiol protease that hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C terminal glycine of ubiquitin. This gene is specifically expressed in the neurons and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Parkinson disease.
