Recombinant Human p21-activated kinase 4/PAK4 Kinase was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (Lane 1) conditions.
The activity of PAK4 is based on the ADP-GLO kinase activity assay quantifies kinase activity by measuring the conversion of ATP to ADP catalyzed by the kinase. Specific reagents are used to convert the ADP in the reaction back to ATP, resulting in the production of a luminescent signal.
Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PAK4 gene. PAK4 is one of six members of the PAK family of serine/threonine kinases which are divided into group I (PAK1, PAK2 and PAK3) and group II (PAK4, PAK6 and PAK5/7). PAK4 localizes in sub-cellular domains of the cytoplasm and nucleus. PAK4 regulates cytoskeleton remodeling, phenotypic signaling and gene expression, and affects directional motility, invasion, metastasis, and growth. Similar to PAK1, PAK4-signaling-dependent cellular functions also regulate both physiologic and disease processes such as cancer, as PAK4 is overexpressed and/or hyperstimulated in human cancer, at-large.
