CDK5, 1-292 aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

CDK5, also known as cell division protein kinase 5, is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase family. It is required for proper development of the brain and to be activated, CDK5 must associate with CDK5R1 or CDK5R2. Unlike other cyclin dependent kinases, it does not also require phosphorylation on the T loop so that binding with the activator is sufficient to activate the kinase. This protein is involved in the processes of neuronal maturation and migration, phosphorylating the key intracellular adaptor of the reelin signaling chain. Recombinant human CDK5 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.

Can be stored at +4C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or -70C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
