Gene Name: Vrk2

Gene ID: 69922

Function: Serine/threonine kinase that regulates several signal transduction pathways. Isoform 1 modulates the stress response to hypoxia and cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) and this is dependent on its interaction with MAPK8IP1, which assembles mitogen- activated protein kinase (MAPK) complexes. Inhibition of signal transmission mediated by the assembly of MAPK8IP1-MAPK complexes reduces JNK phosphorylation and JUN-dependent transcription. Phosphorylates histone H3. Phosphorylates 'Thr-18' of p53/TP53, and thereby increases its stability and activity. Phosphorylates BANF1 and disrupts its ability to bind DNA and reduces its binding to LEM domain- containing proteins. Downregulates the transactivation of transcription induced by ERBB2, HRAS, BRAF, and MEK1. Blocks the phosphorylation of ERK in response to ERBB2 and HRAS. May also phosphorylate MAPK8IP1. Can also phosphorylate the following substrates that are commonly used to establish in vitro kinase activity: casein, MBP and histone H2B, but it is not sure that this is physiologically relevant (By similarity) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Expressed in liver, kidney and muscle. Weakly expressed in thymus, bone marrow and spleen

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
