ALK receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the insulin receptor (InsR)subfamily of the tyrosine protein kinase family. ALK comprises a 1020-aa large extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane region (TM), and a 561-aa intracellular kinase domain. ALK is a neuronal RTK that is expressed in specific regions of the central and peripheral nervous systems and plays an important role in the genesis and differentiation of the nervous system. ALK acts as a receptor for ligands pleiotrophin (PTN), a secreted growth factor, and midkine (MDK), a PTN-related factor, thus participating in PTN and MDK signal transduction, leading to the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.  The MAPK pathway is important for the anti-apoptotic signaling of PTN and regulation of cell proliferation.  ALK drives NF-kappa-B activation, probably through IRS1 and the activation of the AKT serine/threonine kinase. The ALK gene has been found to be rearranged, mutated, or amplified in many types of cancer including anaplastic large cell lymphomas, neuroblastoma, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The chromosomal rearrangements are the most common genetic alterations in the ALK gene, which result in creation of multiple fusion genes in tumorigenesis, including ALK/EML4, ALK/RANBP2, ALK/ATIC, ALK/TFG, ALK/NPM1, ALK/SQSTM1, ALK/KIF5B, ALK/CLTC, ALK/TPM4, and ALK/MSN.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: ALK; CD246; NBLST3

 

NCBI Gene ID: 238

 

Uniprot Entry: Q9UM73

 

Construct Details: Full length human ALK/CD246 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 4863 (bp)
