Description
General description
64 kDa
Polo-like Kinase 1 (PLK-1) is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that performs several important functions throughout M phase of the cell cycle, including the regulation of centrosome maturation and spindle assembly, the removal of cohesins from chromosome arms, the inactivation of APC/C inhibitors, and the regulation of mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Expressed PLK-1 protein accumulates to a maximum during the G2 and M phases, declines to a nearly undetectable level following mitosis and throughout G1 phase, and then begins to accumulate again during S phase.
Immunogen
6His-tagged full length fusion protein corresponding to human polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1). Also called serine-threonine protein kinase PLK.
