Synonyms: Anti-Crk-like protein antibody produced in rabbit
MDL Number: MFCD01633275
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Crk-like protein is a protein encoded by the CRKL gene in humans. It is identified as a key regulator in glioblastoma development. It acts as a switch factor on oncogenic pathways and plays a crutial role in multiple cancers. CRKL is involved in colon cancer, the most common form of cancer of the digestive system and expression in colon tumor tissue is significantly higher than normal tissue. Its level is associated with tumor differentiation. It is also found to be overexpressed in bladder cancer, gastric cancers and regulates malignant cell growth. CRKL is an adapter protein, playing a vital role in cell proliferation, adhesion and migration. It acts as a therapeutic target for colon cancer, bladder cancer and gastric cancers.
