CLK2

CLK2 assay

CDC like kinase 2

Synonyms: –

Family: CMGC

Clk(1–4) are CDC2-like kinases with dual specificity, they can autophosphorylate at tyrosine residues and phosphorylate their substrates on serine/threonine residues. CLKs are mainly found in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus where they are implicated in alternative splicing control1. Inhibition of CLKs 1, 2 or 4 accelerates midbody resolution in normally segregating cells and correlates with premature abscission, chromatin breakage and generation of DNA damage in cytokinesis with trapped chromatin.

CLK2 kinase assay is run on mobility shift microfluidics platform (Caliper), which provides best in industry quality of data. We routinely run services associated with this kinase including: screening, profiling, dose-response studies and kinetic measurements. Please contact us for more information.
