Description
Product Characteristics:
Src (also known as pp60src) is a non receptor Tyrosine Kinase involved in signal transduction in many biological systems and implicated in the development of human tumors. There are two critical phosphorylation sites of tyrosine on Src, tyrosine 418 and tyrosine 529 (referring to human Src sequence). The tyrosine 418 is located in the catalytic domain and is one of the autophosphorylation sites. Full catalytic activity of Src requires phosphorylation of tyrosine 418. The tyrosine 529 is located near the carboxyl terminus of Src and acts as a negative regulator, in that Src is held in the inactive form through an intramolecular interaction between the SH2 domain and the carboxyl terminus when tyrosine 529 is phosphorylated by Csk. This conformation blocks phosphorylation of tyrosine 418 at the catalytic domain, thereby preventing Src activation. When tyrosine 529 is dephosphorylated, tyrosine 418 can be maximally phosphorylated and Src becomes active. Src is a proto oncogene that may play a role in the regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. Mutations in this gene could be involved in the malignant progression of colon cancer. Immunogen: Synthetic peptide (Human) derived from the region of Src that contains tyrosine 529, based on the human sequence. The sequence is conserved in mouse (tyrosine 534), chicken (tyrosine 527) and frog (tyrosine 525).

Target Information: This gene is highly similar to the v-src gene of Rous sarcoma virus. This proto-oncogene may play a role in the regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. The protein encoded by this gene is a tyrosine-protein kinase whose activity can be inhibited by phosphorylation by c-SRC kinase. Mutations in this gene could be involved in the malignant progression of colon cancer. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
