The GAK Polyclonal Antibody (PACO21683) from Assay Genie is a valuable tool for researchers studying the protein GAK, which plays a crucial role in cellular processes such as endocytosis and intracellular trafficking. This antibody, raised in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for Western blot applications.GAK, also known as cyclin-G-associated kinase, is involved in the regulation of clathrin-mediated endocytosis and is important for proper cell division and growth. Dysfunction of GAK has been linked to various diseases, making it a promising target for pharmaceutical research in areas such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
By using the GAK Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can detect and analyze GAK protein levels in different cell types, providing valuable insights into its role in cellular pathways and disease mechanisms. This antibody is a valuable tool for advancing our understanding of GAK function and developing targeted therapies for diseases associated with GAK dysregulation.

NCBI Summary:
In all eukaryotes, the cell cycle is governed by cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs), whose activities are regulated by cyclins and CDK inhibitors in a diverse array of mechanisms that involve the control of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of Ser, Thr or Tyr residues. Cyclins are molecules that possess a consensus domain called the 'cyclin box.' In mammalian cells, 9 cyclin species have been identified, and they are referred to as cyclins A through I. Cyclin G is a direct transcriptional target of the p53 tumor suppressor gene product and thus functions downstream of p53. GAK is an association partner of cyclin G and CDK5. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
