Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Rak (N103)

Src is the human homolog of the v~src gene of the Rous sarcoma virus, also known as avian sarcoma virus or ASV. Src is the first proto~oncogenic nonreceptor tyrosine kinase characterized in human. By virtue of common structural motifs, the Src family is composed of nine members in vertebrates, including Src, Yes, Fgr, Frk, Fyn, Lyn, Hck, Lck and Blk. Src~family kinases transduce signals that are involved in the control of a variety of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, motility, and adhesion. Src~family kinases contain an amino terminal cell membrane anchor followed by an SH3 domain and an SH2 domain involved in modular association and activation, respectively. Frk (Rak) is an epithelial tissue~specific kinase. The human Rak gene maps to chromosome 6q21~q22.3 and encodes a 505 amino acid protein.
