ALPK1 Antibody (N-term) Blocking Peptide

Unlike most eukaryotic kinases, alpha kinases, such as ALPK1, recognize phosphorylation sites in which the surrounding peptides have an alpha-helical conformation. Epithelial cells maintain a polarized structure based on a selective sorting machinery for cargo traveling to the apical or the basolateral membrane domain at the trans-Golgi network exit. Alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1)is a compnent of raft-carrying apical vesicles, originally identified in vesicles ferrying raft-associated sucrase-isomaltase (SI). It has been proposed that phosphorylation of myosin I by ALPK1 is essential to the apical trafficking of raft-associated SI.
