AffiAB® Anti-PDPK1 Antibody [SD204-9]

PDPK1 (3-phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase 1) , also known as PDK1, PDPK2, PDPK2P or PRO0461, is 556 amino acid ubiquitously expressed protein that localizes to the cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. Acting as a master kinase, PDPK1 phosphorylates and activates a subgroup of the AGC family of protein kinases. PDPK1 is involved in mediating signal transduction for controlling proliferation, survival, and growth of developing pancreatic beta cells, regulating Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-activated K+ channels of mast cells, regulation of chemotaxis and motility of vascular endothelial cells, cardiac homeostasis, and thymocyte development. Belonging to the protein kinase superfamily, PDPK1 contains a PH domain, which play an essential role in homodimerization, localization and nuclear import of PDPK1, and a protein kinase domain. PDPK1 exists as five alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 16p13.3.
