Description
Recombinant human LMTK2 (66-583) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. This gene accession number is NM_014916.
LMTK2 or lemur tyrosine kinase belongs to the protein kinase superfamily and the protein tyrosine kinase family which contains N-terminal transmembrane helices and a long C-terminal cytoplasmic tail with serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity. LMTK2 can associate with PPP1CA and PPP1R2 to form a membrane-localized regulatory complex (1). LMTK2 is highly expressed in all specific adult brain regions, particularly in thalamus, amygdala, cerebellum, and caudate nucleus (2). LMTK2 protein involves in nerve growth factor (NGF)-TrkA signalling, and also plays a critical role in endosomal membrane trafficking.sine kinase 2
