Purified (~70-90%). ABL1 protooncogene encodes a cytoplasmic and nuclear protein tyrosine kinase that has been implicated in processes of cell differentiation, cell division, cell adhesion, and stress response. Activity of ABL protein is negatively regulated by its SH3 domain and deletion of the SH3 domain turns ABL1 into an oncogene. Translocation and head-to-tail fusion of the BCR and ABL1 genes is present in many cases of chronic myelogeneous leukemia. The DNA-binding activity of the ubiquitously expressed ABL1 tyrosine kinase is regulated by CDK1-mediated phosphorylation, suggesting a cell cycle function for ABL1. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to human ABL1, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in Insect cells. Molecular Weight: ~135kD Specific Activity: 871nmol/min/mg as per activity assay protocol. Endotoxin: <1EU/ug (LAL)
